Give me the words The patience to lead Give me the love To help hearts as they bleed. Give me one moment To dry just one tear One year in a lifetime One day in a year. Don’t let me linger When I should move on Don't let them suffer When I’m finally gone. Give me the wisdom To know I don’t know Give me potential To learn and to grow. Give me five seconds To fix what I’ve wrought Give me a heartbeat To learn what I forgot. Help me to walk When my legs will not stand Help me comprehend What I haven’t planned. Help me and heal me Let me walk if I’m lame Show me compassion That I might do the same.

Yes indeed! I actually wrote it years ago, but just found it again this morning. I figured it needed a little love, so I decided to post it. Thank you for the wonderful compliment!

It is lovely. It sounds like a sort of poem I’d put as my phone wallpaper or something.

Aw, I love that! I ought to go into the phone wallpaper business if my writing career doesn’t pan out. 😉 Thank you again!

It’s beautiful. So like The Serenity Prayer, but completely new and vital. The first verse encapsulates the rest, and I love the last line of it, Give me the love, to help hearts as they bleed. What a great sentiment! First-rate poem! 🙂

Thanks very much! I like that comparison. That’s the sort of atmosphere I was trying to achieve; that moment when you just take a breathe and try to level yourself. I’m glad I made it!
