can I do better?

can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.

And gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang. — Mary Oliver

He was living out the chief end of man - -to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Psalm 29:11 says, The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. — Beth Willis Miller
