Lord watch my sparrows, As they flutter from the nest Strengthen their wings Don't let them tumble to the ground Keep your watchful eye upon them Don't let the serpent take them for his prey. Lord I can't always be there with them But you are everywhere So stay close beside them This is a mother's prayer. Lord help my sparrows Fly like eagles yet Be humble as little doves Relying on you to guide them Lord keep them in your love. [This message has been edited by Septsong (edited 01-07-2000).] |

This is so lovely and beautiful, a mothers prayer to God is untouchable, this would be great for a Mothers Day church service or mothers dinner!  < !signature-->"Unto every life, A little love must fall!" [This message has been edited by A Romantic Heart (edited 01-05-2000).] |

well this poem certainly touched me - i myself am a sparrow which will leave it's nest in only a couple of years, and reading this made me realise how hard it must be for a mother to let go - but thankfully you are letting them go into the nurturing hands of God, and your prayer will most certainly be answered. Beautiful poem.... God bless. |

What a lovely prayer! Something I can definitely relate to being a mother! Just beautiful! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Amen. Though I don't live with my children, they are growing rapidly and will be out on their own soon. I can truly relate to this prayer. Thank you for sharing. Michael |

Thank you all for your comments and yes it is hard to let go, but that is what mothers and fathers have to do, no matter how dificult. How else would they learn to fly on their own? You know the internet is making it easier to communicate between the generation gaps, especially this site where we are able to listen to each other's hearts, young or old or in between. |

This is lovely - and it made me think of those sparrows who are torn away early from the nest - with little choice. Such was I - and because of that I still want to fly back to it, even though I am mid twenties. A powerful poem indeed - that has many facets to it. And I agree with the generation gap view - many of my friends here are over 50. Well done. |
