A Prayer For Our Little Ones - Re-posted

Don’t let them stray far from the path,

Lord, keep them on the way;
And, if You don’t mind, make their trail
Straight and smooth, I pray. 
 
I know that there must be some dips
And hills along their road,
But let them be the little kind.
Oh, and a lighter load. 
 
I want to shelter them, oh Lord,
From all that could bring harm,
Though I know that they’re safest when
They're snuggled in Your arm. 
 
I know their path will be their own
And You have them in hand,
But I still love them oh so much. 
I know You understand. 
 
Psalm 143:10 
Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
