I Tried But Cant Do It His Way

I Go placidly amid the guile, ingratitude, and hate, he said Max Ehrmann, we believe, trumpeted the peace of silence In that famous poem, urban legend says, found in a Baltimore church Go placidly amid chaos? Alone? I asked even as I attempted But jinxed myself in making a mantra of I can't do so much II Was I not made for communion? As with the first Adam, or *****Sapien Or even Australopithecines, and *****Erectus (Handy human, *****habilis)? We all have had our romantic moments, heroes, Romeo, Wendolene O how I miss the angry determination and dignity of youth Integrity before Eternity; life's increasing lessons in humility
