Happy New Year
Dear Lord, please give me
A few friends who understands me
and yet remain my firends
A work to do which has real value
without which the world
would feel the power
A mind unafraid to travel
even though the trail be not blazed
An understanding heart
A sense of homor
Time for quiet, silent meditation
A feeling of the presence of God
And the patience to wait
for the coming of these things
with the wisdom to know them
when they come.
