1. Every future worry is forgot when past,
And sorrow for what's gone brings peace at last.

2. Firm wisdom's friend when fate perplexes most
Submits and leaves events to God's dispose.

3. I've grown as weak as eagles, when their flight
Their feathers hamper, once so proud and bright.

4. I suffer ceaseless woes and cares unknown,
A life I never chose to be my own.

5. Yet I have milked fate's udder halfway through.
You'll ne'er see me to new disasters bow.

6. With calm acceptance I meet each event.
God's will be done; I trust His wise intent.

7. Time changes moods and men. Fulfilled today,
Tomorrow's dreams may drop and fade away.
