“Prayer,” Ensign, Jan. 1976, 13
Prayer
If man were made of concrete and steel
He would be solid
And strong;
But he would also be unbendable,
Unable to kneel,
Not as slave, but as humble supplicator
To a Higher Power
Who knows that man’s strength
Is not to be measured as concrete and steel—
In tensil units—
But in his indomitable will.
