Lord, grant me time enough
to do all the chores,
join in the games,
help with the lessons,
say the night prayers,
and still have a few moments left for me.
Lord, grant me energy enough
to be bread-baker and breadwinner,
knee patcher and peacemaker,
ball player and bill juggler.
Lord, grant me hands enough
to wipe away the tears,
to reach out when I'm needed,
to hug and to hold,
to tickle and to touch.
Lord, grant me heart enough
to share and to care,
to listen and to understand,
and to make a loving home for my family. Amen
