A Prayer For Sick Days
God of sick days,
Of footie pajamas and reheated coffee
Give us strength.
God of interrupted nights,
Punctuated with tiny coughs and tears -
Give us rest.
God of grape flavored Tylenol,
And kisses on flushed, feverish cheeks
Give us gentleness.
God of canceled plans and loneliness,
Of disappointments big and small -
Give us wisdom to remember;
There was never an opportunity greater than the one within our home.
