Charlotte requested the following prayer: "Open My Eyes" God open my eyes so I may see, And feel Your presence close to me… Give me strength for my stumbling feet, As I battle the crowd on life's busy street, And widen the vision of my unseeing eyes, So in passing faces I'll recognize, Not just a stranger, unloved and unknown, But a friend with a heart that is much like my own…. Give me perception to make me aware, That scattered profusely on life's thoroughfare, Are the best GIFTS of GOD that we daily pass by, As we look at the world with an UNSEEING EYE. –Helen Steiner Rice
