A Prayer

"Dear God", I prayed all unafraid, as we’re inclined to do
"I do not need a handsome man, oh, but let him be like You.
But let his head be high, dear God, and let his eyes be clear.
His shoulders straight, what ‘er his state, what ‘er his earthly sphere.
And let his whole face have character of ruggedness of soul
And let his whole life show, dear God, a singleness of gold
Then, when he comes, as he will come, with quite eyes aglow
I’ll understand, yes, he’s the man I prayed for long ago."

This was written by Ruth Bell Graham (Billy Graham's wife) when she was 19 years old. I like it. I hope you do to.
