We parents frequently search for just the right words to express our feelings to our children. We want to tell them how much we love them and what a blessing they are to our lives. But however much we look inside our hearts, the appropriate sentiments often evade us.

A Prayer for My Child helps parents to express their love for their children. I wrote the poem for my daughter’s confirmation. Renee’s eyes misted when she read it. "Daddy, you should share this with other children," she said.

I printed the prayer on a simple card and left copies in my office. My patients loved the message. Many have told me that its words moved them and their children to tears. A Prayer for My Child is the perfect non-denominational gift for births, Confirmations and Christenings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, and any occasion when you just want to say, "I love you."

Superimposing the words on a photograph of a sunrise emphasizes the meaning within the poem: Life’s journey is accomplished by finding the light behind the clouds.

This prayer belongs to all children. A portion of the proceeds of each sale will be donated to Boys’ Towns of Italy. Visit their website at www.boystown.it.
