"A Daddy's Prayer"

(aka "A Parent's Prayer")

by Allan Shedlin

​

At the end of my days may my child be able to conclude with honesty, conviction, and enthusiasm that I did the best I could…and then some.
 
May I become the dad of my yearning, the one I might have dreamed for if I dared.
 
May I be mindful that when I dare, reality may present challenges to test my seriousness of intent and purpose.
 
At those times, may I remain mindful of my intentions and "daddy on" as if my child's life depends on it – as might mine.
 
Let the ideal of a “perfect parent” be my lodestar, humbled by the realization that there is no such thing. Just as there is no such thing as a "perfect child"...rather, a child who is perfectly who they are.
