Everything I Needed by Julie Hebert

 Everything I Needed, by Julie Hebert

Everything I needed,
I asked for in my prayers.
My prayers were always answered,
In many different pairs.
 
I asked God for some courage,
And he answered with a hum.
He gave me some dangers,
That I would overcome.
 
I asked God for some strength,
And he answered with a wrong.
He gave me some difficulties,
That would make me strong.
 
I asked God for some patience,
And he answered with a date.
He gave me some situations,
That I was forced to wait.
 
I asked God for love,
And he answered with throw.
He gave me lots of people,
That I could get to know.
 
I received nothing that I wanted,
Only that of which I need.
My prayers have all been answered,
With only a single plead.
