Prayers for my Daughter

Up until now, I’ve had the most challenging time even thinking of myself as a mother.

Yet these moments of quiet surrender, where the whole world begins and ends in one place, making me aware that I shared in creating this being persist.

My heart, my soul, my everything lives and dies with her beating heart and I’ve never been so eager to put out my own flame to light another.

For this I am grateful, because of this I am terrified and as a result of this my life’s purpose has begun

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
