MotherPrayer Wednesday
Dear God,
The wail of the loon flows across the lake,
"I am watching my young, beware, beware."
We are all loons, watching over and caring for our young.
We have such hopes and aspirations, whether we be a mother
in Syria, the Sudan, Israel, North Korea or North Carolina...
We cry out, we wail, we hope,
we call for our children to be safe,
to come home, come home...
Just like you, God,
a mother hen watching over her chicks,
a great eagle protecting the young in her nest and teaching us to fly.
Just like you.
AMEN
