English poem
Prayer
by Virna Sheard
If aught be mine, Good Master of all fate, I pray Thee for two blessings from above, To carry with me to the last, lone gate,— A little laughter—and a little love.
I would go light of pack along the way; Glad of the rain, and happy with the sun; Give me a little laughter with the day, Give me a little love, when day is done.
