A Mother and Father's Prayer

Written：Karen Taylor-Good/Melissa Manchester
I know youe listening as I lay me down to sleep
It not for me I ask, but my children souls to keep
It seems the world is going crazy
And though I need to do my share
Could you please take them under wing
Watch over them especially
Keeping them safe from everything
This is a mother prayer
I know youe listening in the silence of the night
The news is blistering but I hold on to your light
And though there darkness all around us
By my faith I know youe there
Give me the strength to lead the way
Send me the words I need to say
Use me to guide them day to day
This is a mother prayer
This is a father prayer
I know I can do this by my self
I thank you for your help
I know youe listening so I know I not alone
I　feel you here with me as we all face down the unknown
Could you return us to your garden
Where no one hurt and no one scared
Free us from pride and bitterness
Keep us so close we won forget
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother prayer
This is a father prayer
Teach us to love as you love
This is a mother, a father prayer
