A PRAYER IN MATHEMATICS

Lord,teach me to number my days

and graph them according to your ways

trusting you to base me in your plan

To compliments your perfect diagram.

Draw the lines I have to follow

Guiding me properly with your arrow

Because sometimes I tend to be irrational

Yet, all the while you want me to be rational.

Life is indeed your favourite equation

Perfect in your eternal computation

And I am only a miniscule proportion

Give thanks and praise to you almighty creator.

Subtract the profits you don’t want from me

But add the values you have set for me

Divide the dividends I possess accordingly

So I can multiply them systemtically.
