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.
