    Rosemary's Blessing: 

    Dear Lord, please give me

    A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;

    A work to do which has real value,
    without which the world would be the poorer;

    A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed; 

    A sense of humor;

    Time for quiet, silent meditation;   

    The patience to wait for the coming of these things, Amen.
