When I am temptedTo feel impatientWith the adult'sReluctant faith,And annoyedWith the adolescent'sSophistication,And indignantWith humankind'sThoughtlessness,Then help me, dear Father,To pause and rememberThat they, even as myself,Are all underYour mandate of progress,And that one dayWe shall each standFully cladIn the radiancyOf Christ awareness;And help me insteadTo hallow and honorThis perfect selfhoodThat I mayHasten the hourOf its fulfillmentAnd also maintainMy ownPeace of mind.
