O for a quiet heart, a gentle restful spirit,
To be a bright light in the dark, to love God's will, not fear it.
O to embrace the plan and not to buck against it,
To open wide my hands and calmly let Him fill them.
O for a real contentment in serving day by day,
Never elsewhere searching, eyes steadfast upon the way.


A poem I wrote a while back but that I still echo the sense of in my life today, in my prayers today.
