Lessons

Teach me to laugh at vagaries of this world
Teach me to smile at the stones they hurl
Teach me to bow to the hand that kills
Teach me to live as You will.

Teach me to live in stress and strain
To do my work with no complaint.
Teach me to love, to eschew hate
To open my heart to all at the gate

Teach me to stand when blows rain
Not to turn my back, or succumb to strain.
Teach me to navigate my way
And reach your shores without delay
