MORNING PRAYER

Series: Poems of Power

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

The poem explores the idea that one's morning prayer should be a declaration of self-love and self-worth, rather than a supplication for external blessings. It argues that individuals should focus on cultivating their inner strength, beauty, and goodness, rather than seeking these qualities from an external deity. The speaker urges the reader to pray for courage, honor, and purity, and to strive to be the best version of themselves. AI Generated Content
