Bill “Papa” Lee Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 In another thread the worst Mother's Gifts were the topic. So as I promised some that I would share a Mother's Day gift for those who still have their Mothers. I only ask is that if shared in Church I ask that you mention my Mother's name and that she inspired this poem... When My Mother Prays When my mother prays Angels take their flight. To guard my way by day, To protect me in the night. When I forget in whom I trust And bow on bended knee, There is one who won't forget To pled my case to Thee. In darkness I have walked Not knowing well the cost. A voice was heard on high Before my soul was lost. In sickness and in health Circumstances tho' they be, My name Thou can't forget When my Mother prays for me. In the purest form of love Her prayers for me are heard. In language known to angels, In the simple spoken word. And yet these words ascend To Thy throne exalted high. Request for promised blessings Which Thou cannot deny. Blessed is her name, Her devotion knows no bounds. In her quit secret place On her knees she will be found. With courage, I will face The trials of coming days. The heavens shake for my good When my Mother prays.(William E. Lee) Copyright 1995 Dedicated to my Mother who inspired this poem, I lost her two years ago. Norma Francis Cooper Lee October 30, 1932 until March 24, 2014
Jeanne Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Oh PaPa.. My mom is gone..but I found her in your words and saw her love and care again. That is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. It is through our Moms that we find the deepest love. Hugs to you and yours. Jeanne
Tacenda Posted May 6, 2016 Posted May 6, 2016 Like Jeanne, I too found my angel of a mom in your poem Pa Pa. There was a time in my single adulthood that she nearly prayed her knees off for me, she was so worried. I attribute her prayers to my coming back to activity in the church when I had a short stint of inactivity and "hanging with the wrong crowd" time.
