From the book 'Verses I like' by Major Edward Bowes - 1937 edition.

A Prayer Found in Chester Cathedral

Give me a good digestion, Lord,

And also something to digest;

Give me a healthy body, Lord,

With sense to keep it at its best.

Give me a healthy mind, good Lord,

To keep the good and pure in sight;

Which, seeing sin, is not appalled,

But finds a way to set it right.

Give me a mind that is not bored,

That does not whimper, whine or sigh;

Don't let me worry overmuch,

About the fussy thing called "I."

Give me a sense of humor, Lord;

Give me the grace to see a joke;

To get' some happiness from life,

And pass it on to other folk.

I thought you might like to see this poem too.

Salaam Alaikum

(Peace be With You)

By an unknown Author

I pray the prayer the Easterns do,

May the peace of Allah abide with you.

Wherever you stay, wherever you go,

May the beautiful palms of Allah grow.

Through days of labor and nights of rest, May the love of good Allah make you blest.

So I touch my heart as the Easterns do,

May the peace of Allah abide with you.
