Tears are the showers that fertilize this world.
A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life.
It is a comely fashion to be glad; Joy is the grace we say to God.
I have lived life long enough to thank God that all my prayers have not been answered
And old affront will stir the heart Through years of rankling pain.
And bitter waxed the fray; Brother with brother spake no word When they met in the way.
