As I stumble through this life,
help me to create more laughter than tears.

Never let me become so indifferent that
I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child.

Never let me forget that my
total effort is to cheer people,
make them forget, at least momentarily,
the unpleasantness in their lives.

And in my final moment, may I hear You whisper:
"When you made people smile, you made Me smile."
