I found this wonderful poem online, and thought it would fit well on this page! 

A Prayer for Womanhood

God, give each true good woman
Her own small house to keep,
No heart should ache with longing,
No hurt should go too deep…..
Grant her age-old desire:
A house to love and sweep.
Give her a man beside her,
A kind man, and a true,
And let them work together
And love, a lifetime through,
And let her mother children
As gentle women do.
Give her a shelf for dishes,
And a shining box for bread,
A white cloth for her table,
And a white spread for her bed,
A shaded lamp at nightfall,
And a row of books much read.
God, let her work with laughter,
And let her rest with sleep.
No life can truly offer
A peace more sure and deep….
God, give each true woman
Her own small house to keep

Dear Lord,
I pray for your blessing on my day. Please guide me today in my words and in my actions. Bless my marriage and give me strength to have true desires of submission, dedication, and selflessness. Grant me the strenght to build a home filled with love and laughter, giving little attention to deeds of wrong, rather praise the positive desires of my childrens hearts, building up a true image of your love for them. Hold my tongue to words of gossip, help my thoughts to remain positive, and fill me with pure joy as i give each day to You.
Amen
