Hear My Prayer

Bless my family one and all.
Watch over them and keep them.
My eldest daughter near to my heart,
yet so far away.
My daughter at home so young, yet grown.
My baby boy who is eight this year.
My youngest who is a ray of light 
on a dark and dismal day.
And my spouse who is the love of my life.
Lord in your mercy hear my prayer.
