Taken from Wings of the Morning – Patience Strong
All of these pieces are really short, but oh so beautiful!
Strength for this day, that is all that I ask – food for my hunger – and zest for my task; health for my body – a roof o’er my head …. And when I’m weary – a rest – a warm bed.
Give me a job and a place in Life’s scheme; give me a moment in which I can dream; give me a hand that is willing to share – each little happiness – This is my prayer.
Give me a glimpse of some beautiful thing; flowers in the sunshine or birds on the wing… Give me a mind on good purposes bent; give me a heart that is quiet and content.
Not to have riches, position or fame – But to be useful – let that be our aim… Look not ahead to the future, but pray – just for the things that we need day by day.
