Thought
No elevator to success
No magic wings to fly
No exertions of excess
No straining to apply
Climbing steps per second
Is enough to take reward
Of summit which beckoned
Patient diligence toward
Lamplight for step to tread
Enough for walking now
Lighting entire way ahead
More than limit speed allow
Graceful sun waits at window
Not begged for, or in token
Its goodness there to bestow
When window is fully open
Prayer
O Lord capture my attention second by second. Grant that I may patiently and pleasantly walk with Thee. May I be contented with small steps as you hold my hand lest I fall; but let me immediately open the windows of the soul that Thy grace may enter.
