A Mother's Journey
On Her Knees
"Baby's coming - it won't be long,"
The doctor says with care.
With great excitement, the journey begins.
Mom bows her head in prayer.
First teeth, first steps, first words
And the hug of a teddy bear.
She treasures the day-to-day journey
On her knees in prayer.
Runny noses, sleepless nights
With not a minute to spare.
Exhaustion comes and with a tear
Mom falls to her knees in prayer.
First day of school, time's gone so fast
School supplies and what to wear -
Mom comes home to an empty house
And goes to her knees in prayer.
Junior high and high school -
Clothes, friends, long hair.
Will this phase ever end?
Mom on her face in prayer.
Off to college the next four years
This brings quite a scare.
The journey's almost done.
Mom bows her head in prayer.
Surprise! This journey doesn't end.
Mom's only halfway there.
Grandkids are comin, it won't be long.
She looks to heaven in prayer.
