A Poem
i
From Mrs. Eby ...
i
Former Governor Thomas E. 1
1 a-woy of New York likes to quote
this prayer sent to him by William
E. Robinson who, in turn, received '
it from Us author, a Mother Su- 1
pc nor who wishes to be annony
mous. I
PRAYER
Lord Thou knowest better than I
know myself that I am growing 1
older and will someday lie old.
Keep me from getting talkative,
and particularly from the fatal
habit of thinking I must say
something on every subject and
on every occasion.
Release me from craving to
straighten out everybody’s af
fairs.
Keep my mind free from the reci
tal of endless details, give me
wings to get to the point.
I ask tor grave enough to listen 1
to the tales of others pains, j
H< lp me to endure them wath 1
patience.
Hut seal my lips on my own aches
and pains they are increasing
and my love of rehearsing them !
is becoming sweeter as the i
years go by.
Teach me the glorious lesson that
occasionally it’s possible that I
might be mistaken.
Keep me reasonably sweet: I do
not want to la* a saint, some of
them are so hard to live with
but a sour old woman is one of
the crowning works of the Devil !
Make me thoughtful, but not
moody: Helpful but not bossy
With my vast store of wisdom,
it seems a pity not to use it all
- but Thou knowest Lord
That I want a few friends at the
end.
