It reads:
God took the strength of a mountain
The majesty of a tree
The warmth of the summer sun
The calm of a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The comforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagle's flight
The joy of the morning in spring
The faith of a mustard seed
The patience of eternity
The depth of a family need
Then God combined all of these qualities
When there was nothing left to add
He knew His masterpiece was complete
He gave our mom her Husband
And gave us you, Dad

My Nurse's Prayer
When I falter, give me courage
When I tire, renew my strength
When I weaken because I'm human
Inspire me to greater length.
If doctors and patients become demanding,
And days are too short for all my duty,
Help me remember I chose to serve
To do so with grace and spiritual beauty.
In humility, Lord, I labor long hours
And though I sometimes may fret:
My mission is mercy.
Abide with me that I may never forget.

I am a Pennsylvania State Trooper,
a soldier of the law.
To me is entrusted
the honor of the force.
I must serve honestly, faithfully,
and if need by, lay down my life
as others have done before me,
rather than swerve from the path of duty.
It is my duty to obey the law
and to enforce it without any
consideration of class, color, creed,
or condition. It is also my duty
to be of service to anyone who
may in danger or distress and,
at all times, so conduct myself
that the honor of the force
may be upheld.
