This beautiful Mother's Prayer For Her Soldier Son
can be found on the Blog, "LINEN ON THE HEDGEROW".
As Thou didst walk in Galilee,
so loving Saviour, walk with him for me:
For since the years have passed and he has grown,
I cannot follow, he must walk alone.
Be Thou my feet that I have had to stay,
for Thou canst comrade him on every way.
Be Thou my voice, when sinful things allure,
pleading with him to choose those that endure.
Be Thou my hand that would keep his in mine,
all, all things that a mother must resign.
When he was little I could walk with him and guide
but now, I pray Thee, Thou be at his side.
And as Thy Blessed Mother folded Thee,
so kind and loving Saviour, guard my son for me.
