A Creed for Those Who Have

Suffered

By Roy Campanella (from Chicken Soup for the

Soul)

I asked God for strength, that I might

achieve,

I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to

obey.

I asked for health,

that I might do great 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 of 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 I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken

prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly BLESSED!
