Guide these faltering steps today--
'Lest I should fall
Tomorrow....
Ah! ...tomorrow far away.
Today is all.
If I can keep my feet
'til evening tide time..
Night...will bring rest
Then stronger grown tomorrow
I will climb
with ever zest!
Oh, let me stoop to no unworthiness..
in pain, or in
sorrow---
Nor bear from yesterday one bitterness!
On 'til tomorrow!
Then Father guide these
searching eyes today,
Thy path to see
Be patient with my feebleness;
The way is steep to Thee...
( Elizabeth Pickering)
(prayer of an Irish mother)
