I do not ask for a path with no trouble or regret.

I ask instead for a friend who'll walk with me down any path.

I do not ask never to feel pain.

I ask instead for courage, even when hope can scarce shine through.

And one more thing I ask:

That in every hour of joy or pain, I feel the Creator close by my side.

This is my truest prayer for myself and for all I love, now and forever, Amen.
