You cannot pray the Lord's Prayer, and even once say, "I."
You cannot pray the Lord's Prayer and even once say, "My."
Nor can you pray the Lord's Prayer, and not pray for another;
for when you ask for daily bread, you must include your brother.
For others are included in each and every plea:
from the beginning to the end of it, it does not once say "Me."
