In the early morning wishing

Tweet

The sun is just rising in the morning of another day.what can I wish that this day may bring me?Nothing that shall make the world or others poorer,nothing at the expense of other men; but just those few things which in their coming do not stop me but touch me rather,as they pass and gather strength. I wish that this day could bring me a few friends,who understand me,and yet remain my friends;I also wish that this day could bring me a work to do which has really value. I wish that this day could bring me a mind unafraid to travel,even though the trail be not blazed,and I wish that this day could bring me an understanding heart. I wish that this day could bring me a sight of the eternal hills,and the blue sea stretching to the horizon,and of something beautiful which the hands of me have made. I wish that this day could bring me a sense of humor,and the power to laugh,a little leisure with nothing to do. And I crave for a few moments of quiet,silent meditation in the morning of this day.
