(Dear Lord) Dear Lord

  

Dear Lord,

I'm proud to say, so far today
I've got along alright;
I have not gossiped, whined or bragged,
Or had a single fight!

I haven't lost my temper once,
Or criticized my mate;
I have not lied, I have not cried,
Or loudly cursed my fate.

So far today I've not one time
Been grumpy or morose,
I've not been spiteful, cold or vain,
Self-centered or verbose.

But Lord, I'm going to need your help
Thoughout the hours ahead;
So give me strength, Dear Lord, for now -
I'm getting out of bed!
