Will To Continue: A Vision in Verse

Faithful Creator Remove from me all malice and hate
Remove the desire to retaliate
Fill my heart with love and charity
Help me forgive when others offend me
When I am weak, while running this race
Bless my soul with sufficient grace
Give me a mind to do thy will
Wisdom to know when to keep still
Let me live so others might see
Your divine light shining through me
Prepare my heart with each step I take
Reducing the errors I am apt to make
Let joy and peace abound in my life
Put far from me all envy and strife
Help me to atone for faults and sin
To apologize to others whom I offend
Lift me up when I stumble and fall
Faithful Creator, plead my cause
Direct my paths, order my steps
As I keep thy commandments and thy precepts
