A PRAYER

99 2 6
                                    

Far be it from me; close be it to me

Far be it from me
Pain without gain
Close be it to me
Beauty in the struggle

Far be it from me
Failure without success
Close be it to me
Ability in disability

Far be it from me
Hope without faith
Close be it to me
The grace to believe

Far be it from me
Wealth in ill health
Close be it to me
Health in wealth

Far be it from me
Confusion in choice
Close be it to me
Wisdom of discernment

Far be it from me
Laziness in strength
Close be it to me
Strength in weakness

Far be it from me
Fear for the unknown
Close be it to me
Blessing in disguise

Far be it from me
Intimidation in weakness
Close be it to me
Qualities that buttress

Far be it from me
Hatred and dislike
Close be it to me
Love and care

Far be it from me
Stubbornness and sluggishness
Close be it to me
Gentleness and vibrancy

Far be it from me
Looseness with self
Close be it to me
Self discipline and control

Far be it from me
Contemptuous satisfaction
Close be it to me
Taste for greatness

Far be it from me; close be it to me
