Mother's Advise Poem by NEDRA WILSON

Mother's Advise

Rating: 5.0


When my daughter was first born I went to my mother for advice. I said to my mother 'mother what to do with this baby'. My mother had nine children so I sit prepared because I knew she would have a lot of advise to give. My mother give me a three word advice 'Pray For Her'

I was not satisfied so I proceeded to say something, but before I could finish she began to say
'when she's sleep Pray For Her'
'when she's at school Pray For Her'
'when she's sick Pray For Her'
'when she leave the house Pray For Her'

I quickly realized that was as much advise as I was going to get from a mother of nine.

So I pray.

Thanks Mom

This extraordinary piece has finally comforted me after losing my dad six years ago...I had not fully come to terms with this tragic loss but you have given me all the peace and divine understanding I needed. May God bless you.10/10...

An insightful advice reinforcing her total submission to the WILL OF OMNISCIENCE, OMNIPOTENT, AND OMNIPRESENT GOD. A lovely narrative poem. Thanks for sharing.
