"To grow a little wiser day by day - To keep my inner life both clean and strong - To free my life from guile, my heart from wrong - To shut the door on hate and scorn and pride - To open up to love the window wide - To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me - To turn life's discords into harmony
"To share some weary worker's heavy load - To point some straying comrad to the Road - To know that what I have is not my own - To feel that I am never quite alone - This would I pray from day to day - For then I know my life would flow - In peace until it be God's will I go." --Anonomous
"I would converse with Thee from day to day,
"with heart intent on what Thou hast to say,
"and through my pilgrim-walk, whate'er befall,
"consult with Thee, O Lord! about it all.
"Since Thou art willing thus to condescend
"to be my intimate, familiar friend,
"oh! let me to the great occasion rise,
"and count Thy friendship life's most glorious prize!" --Anonymous
