Virtues

(Virtues) A Prayer by Anuradha Bhattacharyya

A Prayer

Being constantly mindful of who I am

And who I live with is temperance;

Patience to see the world with love

And quietly wait for my time to come;

In all action mingle abundant kindness

Offering myself for the benefit of friends;

In all the work I do a touch of humility,

Diligence and responsibility,

Steady, intense and energetic effort

In the face of challenge, hard work,

Charity and love. To these virtues O God

Let my consciousness awake!
