Here’s a sweet word from a mother that women around the world have looked up to for years.

“God,

bless all young mothers

at end of day.

Kneeling wearily with each

small one

to hear them pray.

Too tired to rise when done . . .

and yet they do;

longing just to sleep

one whole night through.

Too tired to sleep . . .

Too tired to pray . . .

God,

bless all young mothers

at close of day.”

from Legacy of a Pack Rat by Ruth Bell Graham
