I've Made My Peace With Life

Little things no longer cause despair, Though my daily vexations be rife; Let the wind ruffle and muss my hair, Rain on my parade -see if I care! I've made my peace with Life While the neighbor's dog barks through the night, Why not join in with your drum and fife! Yesterday, those moments would incite Anger, but now I calmly recite: I've made my peace with Life In my woe, prayers to Heaven I'd send, Each time, their denial cut like a knife; And slowly I came to comprehend Some rules of Life were not meant to bend; I've made my peace with Life Love never found its way to my door, Never would I be the envied wife; Too tired to fight, too proud to implore, I'm no longer engaged in this war; I've made my peace with Life What did I achieve when I complained? The rallying of more woe and strife - Dark clouds hid the sun,and it still rained; Now from undue stress I've been unchained...... I've made my peace with Life
