LET ME NOT…

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers
But to be fearless in facing them

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
But for the heart to conquer it

Let me not look for allies on life’s battlefield
But to my own strength

Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved
But hope for the patience to win my freedom

Grant me that I may not be a coward.
Feeling your mercy in my success alone
But let me find the grasp of your hand in my failure.
Rabindranath Tagore

Keatas
