Keep them safe and happy, help teach them right from wrong.
Deliver us from toddlers, Lord,  and teenagers as well

Ensure they do not torture or traumatize the youngest excessively,

Nor forget the middle at all.

Please make the oldest helpful, obedient and productive,

And move out when they turn eighteen.

Please give them health enough that I don’t have to worry, but no grandbabies until they’re at least 25.

Please help them become productive humans that contribute to society,

Whether or not I understand what it is they do for a living

Please show them how to be kind, thoughtful and decent,

Judging others for their actions and not their appearance,

Help those in need

Allow me to be a proud mother who likes her children 90% of the time,

And loves them always.
