I Asked For Health

I asked for health
that I might do great things;
I was given infirmity
that I might do better things.

I asked for riches
that I might be happy;
I was given poverty
that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might
have the praise of others;
I was given weakness
that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things
that I might enjoy life;
I was given life
that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for
but everything I hoped for.

Almost despite my self my
unspoken prayers were answered.
I am, among all people, most
richly blessed.
