Morning Prayer
When little things would irk me, and I grew
Impatient with my dear ones, make me know
How in a moment joy can take flight
And happiness be quenched in endless night.
Keep this thought with me all the livelong day
That I may guard the harsh words I say
When I would fret and gruble, firery hot,
At trifles that tomorrow forgot~
Let me remember, Lord how it would be
If these, my loved ones, were not with me.
