May we be blessed to understand
our shoulders are meant to carry the weight of our children’s worries…
that is one of our parental powers…
And just as blessed to understand our children’s shoulders
were never meant…to carry the weight of ours.
Today I’m grateful for shoulders…
I have been blessed to have stood on my ancestors shoulders…
Blessed the way our lives have intertwined….
And I hope someday my children and grandchildren will feel blessed
to have stood on top of mine.
We will all have certain burdens in our life…
a life that will be long and diverse enough to vary them…
May we be blessed that whatever burdens life throws at us…
we have shoulders strong enough to carry them
