.. for mothers of children that swim in troubled waters ..

Dear Motherly guardians above, please give me the strength to carry on, without always fighting to understand. Let my heart continue to beat even though it is breaking. Show me the way to find the right help we need.. Keep my mind sharp enough to know the difference. Sit beside my woes at night and give me a wee bit respite. Amen.

.. an adoptive mother's prayer..

Please, All heavenly Mothers above.. guide my heart steadfastly toward this little heart I love so deeply. Help me to create a bond of truth and devotion, unlike all others. One that fits and stands on its very own, even in patches of foggy weather, and winds of doubt. Blanket my Mothering Heart. Amen.

A Foster Mother's Prayer..

Dear keepers of fragile hearts, keep my temporary watch loving and deep. Let my spirit mother any wounds to a healing ground, where the promise of better days can be seen and touched. Thank you for the time I do have to gift wrap the heart of a child .. for the journey before them. Amen.
