Best Poems Written by Brianne Giesbrecht

Serenity

God grant me serenity
The opening line
Of a prayer so old
But still just as powerful
God grant me serenity
Serenity, the word
That tells of peace,
Calmness and tranquillity
God grant me the serenity
To accept what I cannot change
To accept the things 
Which forever drag me down
To accept what I cannot change
Tis hard to say 
Especially when our way
Becomes burdensome and long
God grant me the serenity
To accept what I cannot change
Courage to change what I can
To brighten a life where I may
Courage to change what I can
So hard to do sometimes
When the world stares us in the face
And says “You can’t”
God grant me wisdom
To know the difference
When I have done all I can
To further Your kingdom
God grant the serenity
To accept what I cannot change
The courage to change what I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.
