Prayer for ALL Mothers…
By Apolinario Villalobos
Most Benevolent Creator of the vast
universe
and controller of our destiny, to you we
pray…
For all the mothers, that You have brought
forth
On the face of the earth –
They, that walk the ground, crawl and
slither, swim in the ocean,
And, glide in the air as they fly…
Grant that they be safe and healthy at all
times
So, they can give warmth and milk to their
offspring…
Grant that they be well-concealed and
distanced from their predators…
Grant that they be spared from hunger and
thirst
So, their offspring can suckle from them
the juice of life.
For those whose offspring came out of
brittle eggs,
Grant that their wings be strong
To protect their brood from the whipping
wind,
From incessant patter of rain and scorching
heat;
Grant that their mates fly home safe
With worms and morsels in their beak
For the helpless and fragile chicks in
their nest;
For our mothers who pained to bring us
forth
Into the world in all our innocence of nakedness,
They, whose sacrifice did not end in grunt
and moan…
Grant that they may live longer,
So, we may make them savor the joy of
living
As we let out the love -
Long-harbored in our heart for them!
Amen!
