APPRECIATION, by                    
First Line: The joys which life has given me
Last Line: Than to any heart's delight.


The joys which life has given me
Are in my memories yet;
The shadows and the heartaches
I willingly forget.

Yet well I know that all of me
Which is not trivial -- trite --
Owes more to pain and sorrow
Than to any heart's delight.
