The Art of Living

To touch the cup with eager lips and taste, not drain it;

To woo and tempt and count a bliss, and not attain it;

To fondle and caress a joy, yet hold it lightly;

To watch the sunset in the west without regretting;

To hail its advent in the east, the night forgetting;

To smother care in happiness, and grief in laughter;

To hold the present close, not questioning the hereafter;

To have enough to share, to know the joy of giving;

To thrill with all the sweets of life -- that's living.
