Prayer of a Clown
Lord, as I stumble through this life,
Help me to create more laughter than tears,
dispense more happiness than gloom,
spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me grow so big that
I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child
or the twinkle in the eyes of the aged.
Never let me forget that I am a CLOWN...
that my work is to cheer people up,
make them happy, and make them laugh,
make them forget, at least for a moment,
all the unpleasant things in their lives.
Never let me jeopardize the integrity
of clowndom by improper conduct.
Help me to always make others,
(especially You, Lord)
proud of my actions as a clown.
Never let me acquire success
to the point where I will discontinue
calling upon my Creator in the hour of plenty.
And LORD,
in my final moment,
may I hear YOU whisper;
"When you made MY PEOPLE smile,
you made ME smile."
AMEN
