We must do everything we can.
To reach this place of rest.
Or we might be lost down the can.
Or at least lose all our zest.

I was dreaming Cardinal Martini’s prayer.
I promise to accept all you permit to happen to me.
I understood at last it was just accept in this prayer.
That’s not to like all that happens to me.

It’s not a very high bar.
Just to put up with fate.
It needn’t leave too bad a scar.
We just patiently have to wait.

If the soul can accept.
Cannot we accept.

…….

We must just accept
That’s not like everything
That happens to us
