FRIENDS OF THE HANDICAPPED BY ANN LANDERS Blessed are you, who take the time to listen to difficult speech, for you help me to know that if I persevere, I can be understood.
Blessed are you, who never bid me to hurry or take my tasks from me and then do them for me, for I often need time rather than help.
Blessed are you who stand beside me as I enter new and untried ventures, for my failures will be outweighed, by the times I surprise you and myself.
Blessed are you who asked for my help, for my greatest need is to be needed.
Blessed are you who understand that it is difficult for me to put my thoughts into words.
Blessed are you who with a smile encourage me to try once more.
Blessed are you who never remind me that today I asked the same question twice.
