The prayer tells me to ask for serenity to accept the things I cannot change. <br />My child watches and waits by my side. <br />The prayer tells me to ask for courage to change the things I can. <br />My child watches and waits by my side. <br />The prayer tells me to ask for wisdom to know the difference. <br />My child watches and waits by my side. <br />The actions I need to do for my recovery are just too hard today. <br />My child watches and waits by my side. <br />The time I pity myself and doubt if anyone really understands is plenty. <br />My child watches and waits by my side. <br />The hands on the clock do not stop for me to catch my breath. <br />Not even for the sake of my child.<br /><br />Todd M Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-the-sake-of-my-child/
