===Words===

I asked God for strength that I might achieve

I was made weak, that I might learn humility to obey


I asked for health, that I might do great things

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things


I asked for riches, that I might be happy

I was given poverty, that I might be wise


I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God


I asked for all things that I might enjoy life

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things


I got nothing I asked for - but everything I hoped for

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered


I am among all men, most richly blessed!
