EQUANIMITY
Life is a muse in many ways
Good and bad are in all our days,
Often we are happy because all seem right
Sometimes we are sad and full of fright
 
Opposites were established to maintain equilibrium
Or our dwelling would be an Asylum,
Objectivity is required to make it through the day
Preventing us from inevitable dismay
 
Victories are important to each and every soul
But disappointments make us brave and bold,
Life is not a path consisting of one straight line
Rather, it is like a ball of twine
 
So, take up your Eucharistic Chalice, drink from it
Accept life, one day at a time, bit by bit
Its reward, the reality of equanimity
A Chantilly, specially designed, by sanity!
