Previous Draft of A Civil Air for America
See the following pages for an earlier draft of "A Civil Air for America".
A Civil Air p. 70-71 "True Happiness" poem - awesome!
True Happiness
These are the things, which one assess’d
Will make a life that’s truly bless’d
A Good Estate on healthy soil,
Not got by Vice, nor yet by toil:
Round a warm Fire, a pleasant joke,
With a Chimney ever free from Smoke:
A Strength entire, a Sparking bowl
A quiet wife, a quiet soul,
A Mind as well as body, whole
Prudent Simplicity, constant Friends,
A Diet which no art Commends;
A Merry night without much Drinking
A Happy thought without much Thinking,
Each night by Quiet Sleeps made Short
A Will to be but what thou art:
Possess’d of these, all else defy
And Neither wish nor fear to Die
These are things which once Possess’d
Will make a life thats truly bless’d
Recall our Declaration of Independence proclaims:
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”
Liberty to Live Life is the core of human Happiness.
In this WISE WORDS poem is a path to a joyful life.
What do you pray will make your life “truly bless’d”?

GW Prayer at age 20:
"Direct my thoughts, words, and work...daily frame me more & more
into the likeness of Thy Son Jesus Christ."
The Spirit of George Washington the Christian LIVES!
Engraved in stone over where GW rests each night at Mount Vernon are
the words of Jesus from Saint John 11:25, 26...
"Whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die..."
