My Prayer To Mother
Lord, keep her healthy
and give her the happiness she so richly deserves.
Remind her that her daughter, sons, and their families
love her very much and care for her a great deal.
May her visit to our homeland be a successful
and exciting one, full of well spent days
and nights in the land where she and father
became one and gave us life,
for which we are so thankful.
Let father be with her at all times,
and protect and guide her in spirit and heart.
May the fields mother enjoyed and admired as a child,
be green and full of life with nature's beauty.
Bless all our family and friends mother reunites with.
May their hearts be full of joy
and happy memories of the yesterdays,
and the tomorrow we all look forward to.
For tomorrow is what we exist for,
the hopes, plans and goals that await us all,
with much faith for plenty growth.
Like the showers in April that bring the May flowers,
we too will bloom as the seasons pass us by one by one.
Lord, mother is and always will be the only one.
No one else could ever replace her.
She will remain in our thoughts,
and in our hearts and souls until we reach eternity.
Forever guide her, dear Lord, where guidance is needed.
Give her strength, make it stronger than ever.
For it is her strength that keeps me, my brothers
and their families together in a special sense
no one else can give and share with us.
May her smile be continuous and songs heard
out loud and clear to all who listen,
for they are ever lasting, so golden and full of love,
words alone are not enough to describe.
We love and adore her, Lord...
A love so strong, no matter what,
nothing can ever change it.
Let her know that we ask for forgiveness
for all and any wrongdoing.
We know in our hearts she forgives and forgets...
just another one of her golden qualities.
Most of all dear Lord,
our arms will always be wide open,
reaching out to mother,
accepting her never ending love and guidance.
Along with this special prayer,
bless mother for all that she is,
and all that she always will be.
And lead her back to us, dear Lord,
filled with great memories to be shared.
