A Happy Man
When these graven lines you see,
Traveller, do not pity me;
Though I be among the dead,
Let no mournful word be said.
Children that I leave behind,
And their children, all were kind;
Near to them and to my wife,
I was happy all my life.
My three sons I married right,
And their sons I rocked at night;
Death nor sorrow never brought
Cause for one unhappy thought.
Now, and with no need of tears,
Here they leave me, full of years,--
Leave me to my quiet rest
In the region of the blest.
Edwin Arlington Robinson
What is a Happy Life? To me, For Me, A Happy Life ,is one Lived,
and Left , with No Regrets. Having forgiven and been forgiven all wrongs. Having Lived and Left a Life, having been in Love, and having been loved , having been able to receive love. That is a Happy Life , to me.
Bill Swann D.O.
