“What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;”
~William Wordsworth
Peace and strength be with you all.
"Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t." - Steve Maraboli

When I see poems like that it makes me feel like an uneducated dunce.
So many well known phrases there --yet never did I know from whence they sprang. (heh)
