PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Life serves me well, o god; let me know it more
Last Line: That they may comfort me when life, at last, brings tears.
Subject(s): Prayer


Life serves me well, O God; let me know it more.
Let me feel my happiness in my heart's red core.
Good years have I lived with love in gentleness and calm,
A fragrance permeates my days and soothes me as a balm
Soft on my brow; so over and over I fain
Must remind myself that love also means pain.
Let me realize how kind to me these years,
That they may comfort me when life, at last, brings tears.
