God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face
When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve
When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People
When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard
When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard
When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others
God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed

I should accept who I am and what race God gave me I want to be happy what he gave me. I just want to be myself and give respect to myself and others. I like this poem even though I have a great life I still want to accept I am already there I will have this life I got. It’s my destiny I can’t change it.
