Right living

What is right living? Just to do
your best
When worst seems easier. To bear
the ills
Of daily life with patient
cheerfulness
Nor waste dear time recounting
them.
To talk
Of hopeful things when doubt is in
the air.
To count your blessings often,
giving thanks,
And to accept your sorrows
silently,
Nor question why you suffer. To
accept
The whole of life as one perfected
plan,
And welcome each event as part
of it.
To work, and love your work; to
trust, to pray
For larger usefulness and clearer
sight.
This is right living, pleasing in
God's eyes.
