Granny's Six Relatives

My beloved granny's stories were wonderful
I couldn’t make out all but grasped the summary
She's no more but her tales still I remember
Speak of six relatives that are compulsory.

She told me stories of super human beings
To introduce me the first relative good Health 
Taught stories of successful and determined souls 				
To show me the second relative precious Wealth

Some are about knights and their adventurous wars                                        
To tell me about  the third relative Courage
Some are funny, tricky with clever solutions
To praise the fourth relative Wisdom of vintage

Some focused on prudent masters and true servants				
To hint the fifth relative noblest Faithfulness
Why did she tell me such tales?  Intended that
These five relatives would trail the sixth – Happiness.
