Dear Lord --
I'm proud to say, so far today
I've got along all right;
I have not gossiped, bitched or bragged,
Or had a single fight;

I haven't lost my temper once,
Or criticized my mate,
I have not lied, I have not cried,
Or loudly cursed my fate;

So far today I've not one time
Been grumpy or morose,
I've not been spiteful, cold or vain,
Self-centered or verbose;

But, Lord, I'm going to need Your help
Throughout the hours ahead,
So wish me luck, Dear Lord, for now
I'm getting out of bed.
