    A lovely poem. There are many times I would like to be "kinder, less afraid, and easier to live with."

    "kinder, less afraid, and easier to live with." Today, we call that PMS.
    This is a very nice poem!

    Thank you for this. Something to take to heart for many of us, myself very much included. I may just share this in my own writing space; it feels very timely at this point in the year, all looking back and at the same time mentally gathering ourselves together for the next trip round the sun.

    I like this.

    "...no sudden riches...only just enough for every day's small need.."

    Happy 2016.

    I've never heard of her, but I'm intrigued. Need to do a little looking around to learn more about her and her work.
