A CLOWNS PRAYER
Dear Lord, help me create more laughter than tears,
disperse more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me grow so big that I fail to see the wonder
in the eyes of a child or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that I am a clown. . . that my work
is to cheer people up, make them happy, and allow
them to laugh; to forget momentarily all
the unpleasant things in their lives.
Never let me acquire financial success to the
point where I will discontine calling upon You
my Creator in my hour of need or acknowledging
You in my hours of plenty.
Amen
