A Mother' Prayer

by Tammy/Capricorn - Not entered

Lord, help me to get through my son's teenage years
and help me to get past all the anger and the tears
When the confrontations and arguments begin,
Please help me to remember and to try and understand
that although he thinks he's grown-up and knows all there is to know
that, he's really just a child with a lot more years to grow
And somehow make him understand that I'm trying to do my best
and I'll be here for him ALWAYS to put my love to the test
And let him know that even though I get mad, and yell, and  cry
that there is noone on this earth that loves him more than I
And maybe when he is grown and finally is a man
then just maybe he will finally understand
But, until these teen years pass, LORD help me to get through
and any time I have a doubt,I'll put my faith in YOU

Reason for writing:

    When my son was 5, he was diagnosed as ADHD. At 13 he was more than I could handle. I put him in a hospital for behavioral management, for thirty days. I felt like a failure as a mother. I wrote this for him.(and for me.)
