“A Prayer
Refuse to fall down
If you cannot refuse to fall down,
refuse to stay down.
If you cannot refuse to stay down,
lift your heart toward heaven,
and like a hungry beggar,
ask that it be filled.
You may be pushed down.
You may be kept from rising.
But no one can keep you from lifting your heart
toward heaven
only you.
It is in the middle of misery
that so much becomes clear.
The one who says nothing good
came of this,
is not yet listening.”

O God, let me disappear from their sight if they are just making me a fool and enjoying that.
O God, keep me away from hurting others' feelings if they are fair and honest and want to be a part of my life honestly.
O God, help me not to make mistakes again; keep away from them; if they are bogus in my way, if they are sincere, give and show them the right way.”
