Dear Lord - <br />When will I learn to mend my ways? <br />To keep my thoughts to myself <br />Not to force myself onto others <br />To let men live their own lives <br />To not be judgemental; <br /> <br />Dear Lord - <br />When will I see the light? <br />The beauty in diversity <br />The wisdom of my fellow man <br />The uniqueness of each spirit <br />The truth in living deliberately; <br /> <br />Dear Lord - <br />When will I learn to be content with myself? <br />To not rely on others for my happiness <br />To learn to accept my weaknesses <br />To be grateful for my strengths <br />To cherish this life you've given me; <br /> <br />Perhaps at the end of this existence <br />I will have learned what I came here to learn................ <br />I'm trying so hard to be a good student <br />Please point me in the right direction <br />And help me to find my way.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-will-i-learn/
