Seek not your own but another's
And thus fulfill your own.
Pray not for yourself yet again
Rather, do something good.
Put your heart's need aside for now
And mend that of a child.
Place yourself away from all sin
To enable your hands.
Through your life let them contemplate
Your generosity.
Witness to this he will love you
And want you as his wife:
A kind mother to his children,
And mender of his heart.
