My Serenity Prayer

My Serenity Prayer

For every ailment under the sun,

there is a remedy, or there is none.

If there be one, try to find it;

if there be none, never mind it.

If there is a remedy, when trouble strikes,

what reason is there for dejection?

And, if there is no help for it;

what use is there in being glum?

So,

 May Nature, the Creator, give to us:

Courage- to change what must be altered.

Insight- to know the one from the other.

Serenity- to accept what cannot be helped.
Strength- to accept all hardships as the pathway to peace;
to take, as is Nature’s plan, this sinful world;
as it is; not as I would have it.

Wisdom-to live one day at a time; enjoy one moment at a time.
Trust-that Nature will make all things right;
if I only surrender to the Creator’s Will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life;
and, supremely happy as is Natures wish;
forever, and ever, in the next.
