| I stand in the garden, smelling the lilacs and thinking . . . |
GIVE ME
God, give me eyes that I might see
The work that can be done by me;
God, give me ears that I might hear
The cry of those who need me near.
God, give me lips that I might speak
Comfort and peace to all who seek;
God, give me a mind that I might know
How to help those who need me so.
God, give me hands that I might do
Some large or simple task for You;
God, give me a prayer that I might pray
Thy help and guidance every day.
And this one thing, all else above;
God, give me a heart that I may love.
~ Poems of Hope, from the Salesian Collection

I love lilacs! I wish I could buy a bouquet of THOSE at Fresh Market. They seem most available around here if you have a bush outside your window ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the poem too. You are awfully good at finding great quotes & poems, and what-not. Hope it's a great day!
BTW - is your groupon button a referral link?
