Give me seaweed for my thyroid,
Celery seed for gout,
Chilli and Ginger to warm my blood,
And Aspirin to thin it out.
Laughter for my spirit,
And Oh Dear God above.
For my heart give me,
Love Love Love.
Give me food when I’m hungry,
Give me water when I’m dry,
Give me tasks my mind and hands can do,
And Peace when I die.
Give me wisdom when I need it,
Give me friends Dear God above,
But for my heart give me,
Love Love Love
Give me companionship with animals,
Give me tests to make me strong,
A conscience when I need it,
To save me from doing wrong,
Give me kindness and understanding,
And Oh Dear God above,
For my heart give me,
Love Love Love
