The world will never adjust itself
   To suit your whims to the letter,
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
   And the sooner you know it the better.
It is folly to fight with the Infinite
   And go under at last in the wrestle,
The wiser man shapes into God's plan
   As water shapes into a vessel.
                                                    As You Go Through Life.
