A Pause, A Thought

Just thought that I post a poem that a particular mate of mine liked, of which I found to be meaningful as well.

Happy The Man, by John Dryden

Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.


Be fair or foul or rain or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.


A rather stoic piece that halis self-fortitude and satisfaction, don't you think?
