MY PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Give me a hard, hard row to hoe
Last Line: And the courage to bear and not show it.
Subject(s): Prayer; Strength


Give me a hard, hard row to hoe,
And give me the grit to hoe it.
Give me an arduous road to go,
And give me the pluck to go it.
Give me the heartache each human must know,
And the courage to bear and not show it.
