To those who choose to raise their own

To those who choose to raise their own.
In a kind and disciplined loving home.

I pray for the grace of God 
To guide your path as on you trod

The wisdom that you too are learning still
The understanding that they and you have free will

The discernment that teaches (not tells) right from wrong
The love that is not kept but passed on and on

You are not perfect but the will of God is
He will guide and teach you if you choose to be His

Do not worry but lean on His understanding
And you will grow stronger with His word commanding

Your children will learn just as you do and have
And the heart of Father you will make glad
