The road of life can be bumpy,
I pray for calm to help smooth your path
Even the best people have flaws,
I pray to show you compassion as you learn how to understand others
Trusting in others comes with risk,
I pray to teach you balance and discernment
The world can sometimes feel cold and uncaring,
I pray to demonstrate gratitude and unconditional love
Family isn’t chosen,
I pray that our hearts and our home will forever be your safe place to land
Life isn’t always Sunshine and Rainbows
I pray for your heart to have the strength it needs to keep going
You may feel afraid to try new things or share who you are
I pray you will be able to experience the beauty of childhood uninhibited
Others may try to influence you or dim your light
I pray that we allow you the space to live with authenticity and to feel fully alive
Watching you while you sleep gives me renewed hope for the future
I am grateful for the gift you are
