LORD, MAKE A REGULAR [PERSON] OUT OF ME
This I would like to be--braver and bolder,
Just a bit wiser because I am older,
Just a bit kinder to those I may meet,
Just a bit [stronger] taking defeat;
This for the New Year my wish and my plea--
Lord, make a regular [person] out of me.
This I would like to be--just a bit finer,
More of a smiler and less of a whiner,
Just a bit quicker to stretch out my hand,
Helping another who's struggling to stand,
This is my prayer for the New Year to be,
Lord, make a regular [person] out of me.
This I would like to be--just a bit fairer,
Just a bit better, and just a bit squarer,
Not quite so ready to censure and blame,
Quicker to help every person in the game,
Not quite so eager people's failings to see,
Lord, make a regular [person] out of me.
This I would like to be—just a bit truer,
Less of the wisher and more of the doer,
Broader and bigger, more willing to give,
Living and helping my neighbor to live!
This for the New Year my prayer and my plea--
Lord, make a regular [person] out of me.
Original poem written by Edgar Guest, Lord, Make a Regular Man Out of Me.
