i asked for strength

you gave me difficulties to make me strong

i asked for wisdom

you gave me problems to solve

i asked for prosperity

you gave me energy and brain to work

i asked for love

you gave me troubled people to help

i asked for courage

you gave me danger to overcome

i asked for favors

you gave me opportunities

i received nothing i wanted

but i have everything i ever needed

and for that i can never deny

you know what's best for me and i'm grateful for what u've given me
