MyHotComments Prayer for a mother I know We caused you heartaches And sleepless nights-more than a few I know I brought you many tears While you wondered what I'd do You prayed that I would choose the path That you had led me to No parent can force the choice to be made And now I'm thanking you Thank you for the many prayers You offered up for me Thank you for the lessons taught And prayers that God I'd seek Thank you for the love I know You held within your heart Thanks for teaching me God's Word His Truth will not depart I tried to take some detours As I journeyed on my way You did your best to steer me back If I'd not heed, you'd pray Your prayers were not ignored God heard every single one I'm trotting down the narrow path Until my race is done We all may get distracted Even when on the right road But mother's prayers are always there To help relieve the load A mother's heart is full of love For the children that God gives And Mother's heart is full of prayer That for her Lord they'll live I very seldom thanked her Showed love-not often enough Now I pray that she knows I love her so very much
