A LITTLE PRAYER, by ELLEN MAE NICHOLS First Line: I pray you make me humble, lord Last Line: Thus make my life complete. Subject(s): God; Prayer | ||||||||
I pray You make me humble, Lord; More gentle and more kind -- And if I sometimes stumble, Lord, Just see that I don't grumble, Lord. Give me a grateful mind. I wish to find more pleasure, Lord, In every task I do. I wish to share the treasure, Lord, With others in full measure, Lord, Of gifts received from You. I pray You make me tender, Lord, Of all whom I may meet; And let me see the splendor, Lord, Of You, my great defender, Lord: Thus make my life complete. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN LISTEN, LORD: A PRAYER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON A PRAYER FOR THE FUTURE by GEORGE BARLOW (1847-1913) DIFFERENT WAYS TO PRAY by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE PRAYER DURING A TIME MY SON IS HAVING SEIZURES by SHARON OLDS WE WHO PRAYED AND WEPT by WENDELL BERRY PRAYERS AND SAYINGS OF THE MAD FARMER by WENDELL BERRY WRITTEN AFTER SWIMMING FROM SESTOS TO ABYDOS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON ODE WRITTEN IN [THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR] 1746 by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) |
