I asked for knowledge \u2013 power to control things;<\/p>\n
I was granted understanding \u2013 to learn to love persons.<\/p>\n
I asked for strength to be a great man;<\/p>\n
I was make weak to become a better man.<\/p>\n
I asked for wealth to make friends;<\/p>\n
I became poor, to keep friends.<\/p>\n
I asked for all things to enjoy life;<\/p>\n
I was granted life, to enjoy all things.<\/p>\n
I cried for pity; I was offered sympathy.<\/p>\n
I craved for healing of my own disorders;<\/p>\n
I received insight into another\u2019s suffering.<\/p>\n
I prayed to God for safety \u2013 to tread the trodden path;<\/p>\n
I was granted danger, to lose the track and find the Way.<\/p>\n
I got nothing that I prayed for;<\/p>\n
I am among all men, richly blessed.<\/p>\n

Live in such a manner that death may not find you unprepared.<\/p>\n
Thomas \u00e0 Kempis<\/i><\/p>\n
Teach me to live, that I may dread<\/p>\n
The grave as little as my bed;<\/p>\n
Teach me to die, that so I may<\/p>\n
Rise glorious at the awful day.<\/p>\n
Thomas Ken<\/i><\/p>\n
Lives of great men all remind me<\/p>\n
We can make our lives sublime,<\/p>\n
And, departing, leave behind us<\/p>\n
Footprints on the sands of time.<\/p>\n
