Taking, as the Buddha did, this samsara world,
as it is, - not as I would have it;
Trusting that all things are right
I surrender to a Nature greater then my own small self;
That I may be reasonably happy right now,
to be supremely happy tomorrow,

Lovely! Very wise and compassionate. I would like to reciprocate but only can remember a prayer by Saint Theresa of Avila. It speaks about the unconditioned, some people choose to call God, Buddha, or the unconditioned lol. :) Also it speaks about Annica or impermanence.

Let Nothing upset you, let nothing frighten you
Everything is changing,
God alone is changeless,
Patience attains the goal,
Who has God lacks nothing,
God alone meets every need.
