19......Give Me

Rating: 2.1


~ Give Me ~

give me strength and courage
to face the day ahead.

give me wisdom
with every words I speak.

give me patience,
as I comfort the sick and weak.

give me assurance,
as the day slips into night.
That I have done the best I can,
that I have done what is right.

Give to my heart,
compassion and understanding.

Give to my hands,
skill and tenderness.

Give to my ears
the ability to listen.

Give to my lips
words of comfort.
