Today I pray Dear Lord, <br />That you will hear me, <br />A voice from a place, <br />Where right now, <br />I am protected and safe, <br />In a few more hours, <br />I'll burst forth into a world, <br />Which from the whispering I hear, <br />Can be rather unkind and cruel. <br />Give me a mother and a father too, <br />Who to me and themselves, <br />Will be loving and true, <br />Give them love, <br />With which to nurture me, <br />Wisdom to guide me, <br />Strength to protect me <br />Patience to endure with me, <br />Knowledge to instruct me, <br />Trust to instill in me, <br />Faith to believe in me, <br />Resources to provide for me, <br />And I promise Dear Lord, <br />That I will be, <br />The very best, <br />Of what you want me to be!<br /><br />Marva Seaton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-voice-from-the-womb/
