"When I Asked him for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked him for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked him for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked him for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked him for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked him for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

He Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed"
