Ladies, let's pray this prayer (2)

Temans, ada puisi karya Ruth Bell Graham yang oks banget nih.. Biarlah doa ini menjadi doa setiap lady in waiting :)

Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid
(as we're inclined to do),
I do not need a handsome man
but let him be like You;
I do not need one big and strong
nor yet so very tall,
nor need he be some genius,
or wealthy, Lord, at all;
but let his head be high, dear God,
and his eyes be clear,
his shoulder straight, whate'er his state,
whate'er his earthly sphere;
and let his face have character,
a ruggedness of soul,
and let his whole life show, dear God,
a singleness of goal;
then when he comes (as he will come)
with quiet eyes a glow,
I'll understand that he's the man
I prayed for long ago

puisi di atas tidak terlepas dari puisi ini.
