Give me the power to love without reservation.
Give me the courage to be protective with every ounce of energy in my soul.
Give me the humility to admit that I don’t always have the answers.
Give me the discipline to make decisions after weighing all options.
Give me the strength to care for her needs as well as my own.
Give me the knowledge to make me trustworthy.
Give me the patience to listen intently before judging.
Give me the wisdom to treat transgressions with respect.
Give me the kindness to cherish her as my gift.
– Mikhail Borgan (Second Life)
