My Prayer

Not that there be less to bear, Not that there be more to share. But for braver heart for bearing. But for freer heart for sharing. Here I pray.
Not for scenes of richer beauty. Not for paths of lighter duty, But for clearer eyes for seeing, Gentler hands, more patient being. Every day.
Not that joy and peace enfold me, Not that wealth and pleasure hold me, But that I may dry a tear, Speak a word of strength and cheer, On the way.
