My prayer

Dear Lord,

I'm sitting here with this beautiful son you sent to me.
This child of yours with the sparkly brown eyes and goofy laugh.
And I find myself wondering,
how is it that this boy who moves so fast everywhere he goes,
is so painfully slow with the homework tonight?
And how he, who can't find his own shoes in the morning,
has found my last nerve
and is standing directly on it?

Amen.
