The poem is by an anonymous author, and is titled "I asked ..."

 

I asked God for strength,

that I might achieve.

I was made weak,

that I might learn to humbly obey ...

 

I asked for health,

that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity,

that I might do better things ...

 

I asked for riches,

that I might be happy.

I was given poverty,

that I might be wise...

 

I asked for power,

that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness,

that I might feel the need for God....

 

I asked for all things,

that I might enjoy life.

I was given life,

that I might enjoy all things...

 

I got nothing I asked for-

but everything that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken

prayers were answered.

 

I am, among all,

most richly blessed !
