Hidden quote by - Reihold Nieburhr At the funeral I whispered GOD, GRANT ME the strength to get through this day THE SERENITY to rise above my weeping the power TO ACCEPT this death of a person I love and bless me with fortitude to welcome THE THINGS I cannot transform and I CANNOT CHANGE and a way to express my pain and sorrow and THE COURAGE to let this soul go to the afterlife to be reborn and TO CHANGE with eternal respect THE THINGS that I CAN and with determination as I whisper again "all my love for eternity" AND give me THE WISDOM oh God give me the wisdom TO KNOW and understand what this life journey was ... it was a life well lived not a life wasted for I know THE DIFFERENCE _________________________ January 22, 2022 Poetry/Free Verse/Keola-Free Verse Copyright Protected, ID 01-1423-702-22 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Keola Secret Ka-Ching- Cash Cash Cash sponsor, Hilo Poet, Judged 07/26/2022 Third Place
