Look After Mom, Lord

Bless my Mom, Lord

Guard her, nestle her in the crook of your arm

Cover her in the shadow of your wing

Tenderly lead and guide her

Keep her as she navigates these times

Carry her, cradle her

Remind her she is safe

Remind her she is loved

Lift her countenance

Surround there with invisible guardians

Encompass her with loving friends

Warm-handed tender companions

Yoke-fellows with shoulders and arms

Burden bearers complete with tears and prayer

Strengthen her in her journey

Remind her how in her you are blessed

Send her loving messages of mercy

Rose-petal fragranced packages of love

Gather her children 'round about her

Answer her in her deepest heartfelt prayer

Send her all the apples of heaven

Golden fruit of healing of life

Set her on her path in her calling

Finding all those other ones like her

Tested, proven lovers of your children

Draw them together in love

Give them the twelve fruit of healing

Bless them with the Tree of Life

Bless her, Lord

Bless my Mom, and keep her
