Prayer on Mother’s Day
Lord, today I am running the race,
a bit sluggish, I admit. More like the
turtle than the hare. Help me focus
on You, to listen for the crowd’s
roar, perhaps even get a glimpse
of those who ran well, who finished
the course, whose names are recorded
in the book of all-time winners. Mamas
like Rachel and Ruth. Like Eunice and
Lois. Like my mama training hard, eyes
on You, keeping no record of losses,
no track of time.
