365. I thank you, Father
My Father tells me    What to do.
I ask Him,
    How can I do it?
My Father shows me
    How to do it.
I ask Him,
    Why does He not do it for me?
My Father does it for me,
    He does everything for me.
    Then
What do I tell Him?
    I tell Him,
Father, I am sorry,
    I could have done it far better;
I could have done everything infinitely better.
Anyway, I thank You, Father,
    Since Your intention was good.
