Edgar A. Guest famous quote #98
This I would like to be- braver and bolder Just a bit wiser because I am older Just a bit kinder to those I may meet Just a bit manlier taking defeat This for the New Year my wish and my plea- Lord make a regular man out of me. This I would like to be- just a bit finer More of a smiler and less of a whiner Just a bit quicker to stretch out my hand Helping another whos struggling to stand This is my prayer for the New Year to be Lord make a regular man out of me. This I would like to be- just a bit fairer Just a bit better and just a bit squarer Not quite so ready to censure and blame Quicker to help every man in the game Not quite so eager mens failings to see Lord make a regular man out of me. This I would like to be- just a bit truer Less of the wisher and more of the doer Broader and bigger more willing to give Living and helping my neighbor to live This for the New Year my prayer and my plea- Lord make a regular man out of me.
