Grant Me Serenity

God, grant me serenity… Amidst the chaos and noise Let me journey in simplicity Bid me, listen for your voice And when temptation comes to call Hear my cry; draw me near Lest I stumble hard and fall Grant that I may never fear The subtle guile of the serpent’s tongue May I not be blind to another's needs And keep your Word in my heart a constant song For only in you do I find peace and my spirit is free! ~*~

This poem is a beautiful prayer, Annalise - incredibly beautiful. Judging from what you have prayed for in the poem, you must possess a noble soul. Don't let the wayward society influence it. In line seven perhaps you mean "Lest" in place of "Less". -Mohammad
