The Thrill of Living
To watch the sun set in the west
Without regretting;
To hail its advent in the east-
The night forgetting
To touch the cup with eager lips
And taste, not drain it;
To woo and tempt and court a bliss
And not attain it;
To fondle and caress a joy, yet
Hold it lightly;
Lest it become necessity and cling
Too tightly;
To smother care in happiness and
Grief in laughter;
To hold the present close – not
Questioning hereafter;
To have enough to share – to
know the joy of giving;
to thrill with all the sweets of
life – is living.
