A Working Mother's Prayer

I pray that you never equate the amount of time I spend with you,
to the amount of love I have for you.

I pray that you never miss the gift of homemade brownies or hand sown costumes,
but, accept the gift of unlimited possibilities.

I pray you never feel neglected when I don’t oversee your homework,
but, learn, on your own, how to oversee your life.

I pray you understand that while I am attending to hundreds of other matters,
nothing ever matters as much as you.

I pray my choice gives you permission to lead your own life to the fullest,
and not fill your life trying to meet the choices of others.

I pray you learn that you can love someone totally and completely,
yet, also love yourself.

Most of all,
I pray that I am right.


I love hearing your thoughts! laura@realwomenwin.com #bereal
