Excerpt from An Old Man's Musings: And Other Verses

Next level-mindedness. Naught in excess Is Nature's word to him, he does his best, Aims at the golden mean, desires success, But, missing it, is not over-much depressed.

Life, he has seen, has many ups and downs, But mostly strikes an average on the whole, And so he sets its smiles against its frowns, And keeps unswayed the balance of his soul.
