Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier, aka The Creed for the Disabled
I read the poem is at the wall of the hospital lobby. I would like to know the reliable reference for this famous poem.

I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed. --Cheol (talk) 05:01, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
