A Birthday Prayer
If I were to offer a prayer today,
And I knew that the powers that be
Would grant all the blessings for which I should
pray
Most freely unto me,
I would pray that I might in true wisdom and
power
Increase as the days go past,
And be able to do some good deed every hour
That I could not have done in the last.
If the fibre still holds in my life's slender cord
Thru another short year, may I say
I have cherished the good and all evil abhorred,
When I read this a year from today.
-Colfax Burgoyne Harm
May the Lord grant to His servant MICHAEL, health, happiness, and many blessed years!
In the Holy Name of Jesus Who is Lord,
+Father Archimandrite Gregory
