just a poem

Day 1,872, 11:49 • Published in Germany Germany

• by DerEZE

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

i like it 🙂

this reminded me that i haven't heard from Erik War for some while now (no offence to the author/publisher here) but then i have seen that he wrote me a nice last comment in his last article... not much but at least something i can hold near and dear

text here is nice but just copy paste - so just half a vote

zwar copy und paste aber dennoch nettes gedicht 🙂

@ EternalWalk:
hat ich auch erst gedacht, war dann aber positiv überrascht

@eisenmutter2
pass bloß auf, das war die letzte warnung!
