ByLouisa May Alcott<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"spiritual<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

A little kingdom I possess
\nwhere thoughts and feelings dwell,
\nAnd very hard I find the task
\nof governing it well;<\/p>\n

For passion tempts and troubles me,
\nA wayward will misleads,
\nAnd selfishness its shadow casts
\nOn all my words and deeds.<\/p>\n

How can I learn to rule myself,
\nto be the child I should,
\nHonest and brave, nor ever tire
\nOf trying to be good?<\/p>\n

How can I keep a sunny soul
\nTo shine along life’s way?
\nHow can I tune my little heart
\nTo sweetly sing all day?<\/p>\n

Dear Father, help me with the love
\nthat casteth out my fear;
\nTeach me to lean on thee, and feel
\nThat thou art very near,<\/p>\n

That no temptation is unseen
\nNo childish grief too small,
\nSince thou, with patience infinite,
\nDoth soothe and comfort all.<\/p>\n

I do not ask for any crown
\nBut that which all may win
\nNor seek to conquer any world
\nExcept the one within.<\/p>\n

Be thou my guide until I find,
\nLed by a tender hand,
\nThy happy kingdom in myself
\nAnd dare to take command.<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity (1 Timothy 4:12)<\/p>\n
