Grandma Dohn’s Bulletin Board (2)

We are still enjoying Grandma’s bulletin board. Today we are looking at a piece titled “Morning Prayer.” There is no author noted and the words and message are pretty simple and straight forward. Read this as often as you need. Peace, Love, and knitting. Amy

Morning Prayer

When little things would irk me, and I grow

Impatient with my dear ones, make me know

How in a moment joy can take flight

And happiness be quenched in endless night.

Keep this thought with me all the livelong day

That I may guard the harsh words I might say

When I would fret and grumble, fiery hot,

At trifles that tomorrow are forgot–

Let me remember, Lord, how it would be

If these, my loved ones, were not here with me.
