When I Asked God

This poem is self-explanatory! Very beautiful and meaningful!


When I Asked God for Strength
He Gave Me Difficult Situations to Face

When I Asked God for Brain & Brown
He Gave Me Puzzles in Life to Solve

When I Asked God for Happiness
He Showed Me Some Unhappy People

When I Asked God for Wealth
He Showed Me How to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Favors
He Showed Me Opportunities to Work Hard

When I Asked God for Peace
He Showed Me How to Help Others

God Gave Me Nothing I Wanted
He Gave Me Everything I Needed


(P.S. I am not very sure if this is indeed composed by Swami Vivekananda, since I couldnt find it in the Complete Works. But it is still very beautiful!)
