Give to me the patience

Dear Lord,

Give to me the patience
That I shall need each day--
The tenderness and caring
For those who come my way.

Give me understanding--
I need it, God, so much.
Put in my hands and in my heart
Your gentle, loving touch.

Make my ears, my eyes, my thoughts--
Every day aware
That I can keep my pledge
With You to help me care.

Amen
