A Prayer 2

Lord, teach me to evaluate before I vacate Teach me to value debate in trying to educate Let not my sleep be a runaway ticket from reality Teach me to treasure challenges in route to my destiny Teach me to appreciate both roses and thorns in my pathway Open my eyes, my ears, my heart, and my mind to you each day One of the greatest lessons taught to me is the lesson from the tree It amazes me how carbon dioxide goes into a tree and oxygen is released to me. Enable me to release to others the love and forgiveness given to me by thee. Lord, I'm grateful that it's really true that the best things in life are free.
