Poems from Wishes

By Garry Cleveland Myers, P.H.D.
Co-Founder Highlights for Children

The wishes that I wish / Are not of things to sell or buy / But of those things that I / Can make come true myself. / Of things that perish never, / Of things that last forever.

A Parent's Prayer

A PARENT'S PRAYER

Oh, God, make me a better parent.

Help me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they have to say and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep me from interrupting them, talking back to them and contradicting them. Make me as courteous to them as I would have them be to me. Give me the courage to confess my sins against my children and to ask of them forgiveness, when I know that I have done them wrong.
