Morning Prayer




When little things would irk me, and I grow

Impatient with my dear one, make me know

How in a moment you can take its flight

And happiness be quenched in endless night.

Keep this thought with me all the livelong day

That I may guard the harsh words I might say

When I would fret and grumble, fiery hot,

At trifles that tomorrow are forgot--

Let me remember, Lord, how it would be

If these, my loved ones, were not here with me.

I need to read this daily and think about my kids. I get so hot headed with them sometimes. Thanks for posting it. Another nice background! Very pretty green. ~V
