Here’s
a thoughtful prayer for Mother’s Day from Cheryl Lawrie’s [hold this space]
website.
A Prayer for Mother’s Day
A
prayer of love for those who aren’t mothers.
Today
may you know all you are.
A
prayer of love
for
those who decided they wouldn’t
be
a mother
because
they dared not
for
fear they would replicate a world
that
tried to destroy them
A
prayer of love for those who did
but
not by choice
who
had decision thrust upon them
and
now live searching for a love
that
will catch up to their truth
A
prayer of love for those who couldn’t
who
tried but it never worked
and
for those who did,
but
lost.
A
prayer of love for those who never got the chance to even try
and
who with all the other pain that lives inside
today
bear the fear of being
someone
else’s pity
A
prayer of love today for those who hear the word
‘mother’
with
resentment, disappointment, guilt
fear,
rage, horror,
sadness,
ambivalence
grief
a
prayer for those who cannot love their mother
or
their child
and
who no longer have the strength to try
A
prayer of love for those who have no day
that
speaks their worth
that
tells their story
that
reminds them they are also gift to the world
A
prayer of love for those who aren’t.
Today
may you know all you are.
