"PRAYER OF A CLOWN"
Help me to create more laughter than tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than dispair.
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 ages.
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 momentairly all the unpleasant things in their lives...
Never let me jeopardize the integrity of clowndom by improper conduct. Help me to always make others proud of my actions as a clown.
Never let me acquire financial success to the point where I will discontinue calling upon my Creator in the hour of plenty.
