Single Parent's Prayer
Dear Lord,
I pray that I may be the guide to which my children seek to follow
That I may be the shoulder whom they lean to with all their sorrows
To be their invisible strength when they feel they can't hold on
And to be there to lead them home when their fears tell them to run
I cannot be a mother and a father as well as a friend
But I hope to be something more special whose devotion never ends
That special voice inside their hearts which reminds them that they are loved
That stubborn strength within their souls which tells them they must go on
The twinkle in their eyes with each smile and every joy
The laughter in their songs to rejoice a world which we behold
I only pray that I can be the best parent that I can be
The tears of joy, love, and loss I hope my children will see
My gifts of love and strength and hope
So they may see all that they can be

I love this so much, thank you for writing this. Being a single parent is one of the hardest things in the world, but it certainly does make us pray more for our children.
