[note bordered with images of roses] A PRAYER
TEACH ME, FATHER, HOW TO GO SOFTLY AS THE grasses grow; Hush my soul to meet the shock of the wild world as a rock; But my spirit, propt with power, Make as simple as a flower. Let the dry heart fill its cup, Like a poppy looking up; Let life lightly wear her crown, Like a poppy looking down,
Teach me Father how to be kind and patient as a tree. Joyfully the crickets croon Under shady oak at noon;
Beetle, on his mission bent, Tarries in that cooling tent.
Let me also cheer a nook, Place for friendly bread and bookPlace where passing souls can rest On the way, and be their best.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DOCTOR AND MANY MORE TO COME
