Give what is best!!!

I wanted health and strength to do great things,
Infirmity taught patience for each day.

My strength, as fleeting as a moth’s white wing,
Lift me dependent, that I might obey.

I wanted wealth for happiness and ease,
But poverty prevailed and made me wise.

I wanted power to conquer and to please,
But weakness made me see through others’ eyes.

I wanted leisure time to dream and plan,
But duty brought self-discipline and while

I sought approval of my fellowman,
I found it not, but in my Savior’s smile.

And now that I have been so richly blest,
This is my daily prayer, “Give what is best”.
