Cerviacl Mucas At Your Perioc

words of an unknown soldier from the American Civil War

Ich bat Gott um Stärke,
aber er machte mich schwach, damit ich Bescheidenheit and learned humility.

I asked his help to perform great deeds, but he made me
faint, so I performed good deeds.

I asked for riches, to be happy, but he made me
poor, so as I would.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
He gave me life so I could enjoy all things.

I got nothing of what I asked -
but all was good for me.
against myself all my prayers were answered.

I'm a blessed man of all men
