Poem

This is a poem written by a teenage girl looking for a husband.
It was written as a prayer, and this is what she asked of the Lord:
 
Dear God, I pray all unafraid,
As girls are wont to be;
I do not want a handsome man,
But make him, Lord, like Thee.

I do not need one big and strong,
Nor yet so very tall,
Nor need he be some genius,
Or wealthy, Lord, at all;

But let his head be high, dear God,
And let his eye be clear,
His shoulders straight, whate'er his fate;
whate'er his earthly sphere.

And let his face have character,
A ruggedness of soul,
And let his whole life show, dear God,
A singleness of goal.

And when he comes,
As he will come,
With quiet eyes aglow,
I'll know, dear Lord,
That he's the man
I prayed for long ago.
 
That girl's name was Ruth Bell, and she 
later met and married Billy Graham.

I have had the flu for over ten days and am getting over it.
