Grant me patience.
Remove my haste.
Let me revel youth
and not let it waste.
Grant me power
and the means to use it
Help me see worth
in powers unused yet.
Grant me success
free from acclaim
let me keep my spirit and
you may keep my name.
Grant me vision
to see what my eyes don’t
And help me mend all
that these times won’t.
Grant me miracles
and grant them often
on the grave of hope
let the daffodils blossom.
Grant me acknowledgement
on an endless list of names
remembered not for what I was
but rather what I became.
Grant me forgiveness
for the prayer I have ranted.
Grant me gratitude
for having taken much for granted.

Grant me patience.
Remove my haste.
Let me revel youth
and not let it waste.
Grant me power
and the means to use it
Help me see worth
in powers unused yet.
Grant me success
free from acclaim
let me keep my spirit and
you may keep my name.
Grant me vision
to see what my eyes don’t
And help me mend all
that these times won’t.
Grant me miracles
and grant them often
on the grave of hope
let the daffodils blossom.
Grant me acknowledgement
on an endless list of names
remembered not for what I was
but rather what I became.
Grant me forgiveness
for the prayer I have ranted.
Grant me gratitude
for having taken much for granted.
