'My Prayer' Poem by Patti Wilburn Haney

Father grant us the ability to put our destiny in your hands.
Watch over those we love and keep them safe from harm.
Give us the wisdom and compassion to look at situations for what they are...not what others believe them to be.
...Give us the ability to hold onto hope when all seems lost.
Teach us to forgive those who have wronged or maligned us no matter how heinous.
Give us the ability to love our fellow man wholeheartedly and without question or reservation.
Give us the faith lord to realize that we are in your hands at all times and no matter how treacherous the road or no matter how deep the despair, your love will shield us.
I love you lord with all my heart and soul.

Your child,
Patti
