Poet: Unknown
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.
