A nice poem to share with you girls,
Let Him Be Like Thee
"Dear God," I prayed, all unafraid (as girls are wont to be)
"I do not want a handsome man--
but let Him be like Thee."
"I do not need one big and strong,
nor one so very tall,
nor needhe be some genius,
or wealthy, Lord, at all."
" But let his head be high, dear God,
and let his eye be clear,
his shoulders straight, whatever his state,
whatever his earthly sphere."
"And let his face have character,
a ruggedness of soul,
and let his whole life show, dear God,
a singleness of goal."
"And when he comes, as he will come,
with quiet eyes aglow--
I'll understand that he's the man,
I prayed for long ago."
---Ruth Bell Graham
