Beautiful Words...

Greetings all...hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!!
Just wanted to post a little something that really touched me. I went to a meeting at church the other night for my son's religious ed. class...he's making his first Holy Communion this May and they handed out packets with some information in it for the parents. This poem was included and it was just so beautiful that I wanted to share it with all of you...

"Parents Prayer"
What do I ask for myself, Lord?
Give me the confidence in my own ability.
Load me down with good,plain, old-fashioned common sense.
It is important that I find time to play with my children.
Help me to be patient,calm and understanding,
even when I feel like blowing my top.
Tap me on the shoulder and remind me that these
feelings will soon pass away, but my words
may never be forgotten.
This time with them, while they are so young
is very precious.
It will not last long, but out of it will come many
beautiful memories to treasure in the future.
There is so much I could ask to help me be a good parent.
But there is one thing I desire above all; that you will show me
how to love.
Then, I believe, all other things will follow.

Just something to keep in mind as parents. God Bless you all my friends and "angels"...have a wonderful week!!!
