Explore "What Is Right Living?" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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, / Though you be heathen, heretic or Jew.
