God grant
me the serenity
to accept
the things I cannot change;
courage
to change the things I can;
and wisdom
to know the difference.
Living one
day at a time,
enjoying
one moment at a time;
accepting
hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking,
as He did, this sinful world as it is,
not as I would
have it;
trusting
that He will make all things right
if I surrender
to His Will;
that I may
be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely
happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen
