The prayer of a man of advanced age Bashny.Net

This text hung on the wall in the apartment of Alexei German. It is a prayer of an elderly person, which was read by his father — a famous writer Yuri Herman.





Lord, you know better than me that I'll grow old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking that I have any reason to say something...

... Save me from the desire to interfere in the Affairs of each to improve something. May I mused, but not boring. Useful, but not a despot.

... Deliver me from the temptation to recount in detail the infinite details. Give me wings so I in weakness have succeeded. Sealed my mouth, if I want to take a speech about the disease. They are becoming more and enjoy endlessly talk about them — all the sweeter.

... Not dare to ask you to improve my memory, but multiply my humanity, temper my self-confidence when it comes to my remembrance to face the memory of others.

A ask God not show mercy to me, when you have the chance to teach me a brilliant lesson, having proved that I could be wrong...

If I knew how to be hospitable, saving me the ability. Right, I'm not going to turn into a Saint, some of them unbearable in close fellowship. However, people are acidic character — vertex creation of the devil himself.

Teach me to open good where it does not expect to recognize the unexpected talents in other people.
