"A New Yar's Prayer"
Dear Lord, please give me.. a few friends who understand me and yet remain my friends, a work to do which has real value without which the world would feel poorer...a mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed, an understanding hart, a sense of humor, time for quiet meditation., a feeling of the presence of God and the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come. W.R.Hunt
