A Prayer for Parents for Summer

Hey you
Yes, you

Your thigh jiggle is holy

Mama, Parent, Safe Place,
Slayer of nightmares,
Finder of everything,
Fixer of boo boos and heartache:

Your child won’t remember
How your swimsuit fit
But they will remember
How you danced with them,
Laughed with them,
Made every moment
That you could
A prayer

Your thigh jiggle is holy,
Your stretch marks are sacred,
The scattered edges
Of your weary mind
Can never be louder
Than your love.

May our babies remember
We laughed as hard as we loved.

Blessed Be & Amen
