to my kids

MOTHERING

I want my children to know
Their only safety is in you, Lord.
As I lay my hand on their throbbing heads
Or heaving chests, I pray they will sense
You through me.

It is the best I can give them that will last.
I want to be a link from You to them
That they can always find
When I am no longer there.

I put their hand regularly in Yours
And pray they will know what I know:
In the end - You are all there is to know,
Then I can go. J.S.
