Dear God, please grant me the strength of character to just be me

Let me travel through this life with my defences down,

Give me the abiltiy to cry when I am sad

But more importantly for joy as well

Please give me the abilitiy to laugh for laughters sake

And the audacity to laugh at adversity as well

Please give me the wisdom to accept experiences

For what they are

Rather than good or bad

But most importantly God

Please give me the ability

To love with all my heart

All the things that come my way

Life is not a game to be played, but, rather, a joke to be laughed at.

for most people on this planet it isn't a joke either ...
