This is my
prayer to Thee, my Lord –
Strike,
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me
the strength lightly
To bear my
joys and sorrows.
Give me
the strength
To make my
love fruitful in service.
Give me
the strength never
To disown
the poor or
Bend my
knees before insolent might.
Give me
the strength
To raise
my mind high above daily trifles.
And give
me the strength
To
surrender my strength to thy will with love.
-- Robindranath
Tagore
