My Prayer
“Lord, thou knowest that I am growing older.
Keep me from becoming talkative and possessed with the idea that I must express myself on every subject.
Release me from the crazing to straighten out everyone’s affairs.
Keep me from the recital of endless detail.
Seal my lips when I am inclined to tell my aches and pains. They are increasing with the years and my love to speak of them grows sweeter as time goes by.
Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.
Make me thoughtful but not nosey; helpful but not bossy.
With my vast store of wisdom and experience it does seem a pity not to use it all. But thou knowest Lord,
I want a few friends at the end.”
A. Punek, Scribe
