"Dear Lord, I do not ask that thou shouldst give me some high work of Thine, some noble calling, or some wondrous task. "Give me a little hand to hold in mine. Give me a little child to point the way over the strange sweet path that leads to Thee. "Give me a little voice to teach to pray. Give me two shining eyes Thy face to see. "The only crown I ask , dear Lord, to wear is this: that I may teach a little child. I do not ask that I may ever stand among the wise, the worthy, or the great. "I only ask that, softly, hand in hand, a child and I may enter at the gate."

Oh, I love that. Thanks for sharing it!
Very sweet! (Though I'm not sure "softly" is how I would describe the journey in our household!)
