My Wish

Please don't let this season go astray
I really need good feelings everyday
This has been a very hard year
I've struggled to feel you near
I know I've let my life get in the way
Sometimes even forgotten to pray
So my wish for this Christmas season
Is that I can fill it with a greater reason
Not with gifts and candy and such
That isn't what matters much
But to find within myself ways to be more giving
I've known all along this is how I should be living
Even simple things like being more kind
Because I've allowed myself to go spiritually blind
But most important that I need to seek
Is being more humble and meek
To remember thy example set before me
And not forget to get down on my knee
This is my cry for you to abide
Because I need you by my side

Why Can't They See?

Sometimes I worry about being a mother
How do I teach these girls to love one another?
I have come to a place that I am lost
How do I help them see the hidden cost?
To not cause such hurt and pain?
Why do they look at each other with such disdain?
These actions are getting worse
They can hardly converse!
Left out and deprived is what they think
I just pray for them to get along, to sync!
Why do they not care what they say?
All this negativity makes our home seem grey.
Someone help me to understand
What happend, why did we disband?
What can I do to help these girls?
To open their eyes and see they are my pearls?
I want them to cherish each other
And for me, to just to be a better mother....
