Don't Look for Flaws.

Don't look for flaws as you go through
 life;
 And even when you find them It is wise and kind to be somewhat
 blind,
 And look for the virtue behind them. For the cloudiest night has a hint of
 the light.
 Somewhere in its shadows hiding: II is better far to hunt for a star Than the spots on the sun abiding. The current life runs every way To the bosom of God $ great ocean; Don set your force 'gainst the rivers
 course
 And tmnk to alter its motion. Don't waste a curse on the universe; Remember it lived before you: Don't butt at the storm with your
 puny form,
 But bend and let it fly OCT you. The world will never adjust itself To suit your whim to the letter; Some things must go wrong your whole life long
 Aud the sooner you know il the better, It is folly to fight with the infinite, And go under at last in the wrestle; The wiser man shapes into Gods plan AS the water ShaDeS into the vessel
