Mother' s prayer

By Channa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How can I teach my child not to break my heart Not saying unkind words that would tear me apart How can I teach my child by wisdom and reason without criticizing not wanting confrontation how can I teach my child all about compassion when she seems so bound toward self destruction how can I raise my child to learn from her mistakes balancing all things, learning to give, not to take How can I give my child a sense of morality without blame, no shame, just trust and honesty How can I make her see that life is sacred G-d's given, not to be abused, but to be guarded how can I presuade my child to live to her fullest for the glory of G-d and for His faithfulness how can I protect my child from a cruel society Thru prayers and petitions to G-d Almighty these are questions I ask myself often The answers I do find, when I look toward Heaven.
