The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances. (Aristotle)
THE STATE OF GRACE
Family, friends, life itself are what are known as typical blessings
Happiness, health, love, of course are a welcome second helping
Children, wealth, longevity are a bonus to those who qualify
Politeness, generosity, tolerance forgiveness is our key to harmony
Loneliness, disease, and a span of pitfalls are the tragedies we all must fear
Loss and suffering may come our way and it is oh so hard to bear
The spirit, love and mercy from God are the lift that help us cope
It's the grace of thanks and the need for others that is our only hope
