Not To Curse God And Die

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. -Thoreau

"the lord gave

and the lord has taken away"

empty hands make it easier to pray

no keys and no ticket mean

we have no choice but to stay

Author's Note

"As a mother loves to see her child imbibe nourishment and expand, so God loves to see his children thrive on the nutriment he has furnished them." - Thoreau
