THE THINGS I NEED

Lord, please grant to me the things I need,
To help me make it through each day. 
A little Courage would be nice,
If tragedy or trial should come my way.

Compassion and Tolerance would let me be
Of better disposition towards my fellow man;
And with a bit of Friendship, Trust and Charity,
I’ll surely do, for him, the best I can.

I would share my Patience, Grace and Loyalty, 
And with your hand to guide me from above,
  I could help to form a better world,
With a good supply of  Hope and Love.

And lastly Lord, with deep Humility,
I beseech you, here, upon my knees,
For Faith, the greatest thing of all.
Dear Lord, don’t let mine weaken... please.
