Dear Lord, as I stumble through this life
help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.

Never let me become so blase that I fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child,
or a twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget my work is to cheer people,
make them happy, make them laugh,
make them forget at least for a moment
the unpleasantness in their life.
Never let me acquire success to the point that
I discontinue calling on my Creator in the hour of need,
acknowledging and thanking Him in the hour of plenty.
And when I leave this earth may I hear Him say,
"When you made my people smile, you made Me smile".
