A Prayer for Mothers

Today, let us pray for mothers
Thank you for all those that envelop us
With every fibre of their heart
Who rise each day anew to nurture
Not just their own, but someone else’s child
Thank you for giving us all women
For their strength, and patience and intuition
Help us treasure every mother in our lives
Offer hope to all those who are longing
Give rest to all those who are weary
Embrace all those who have lost
And ponder them in our hearts

Amen
