Tears are to no avail.
Rondeau variant
Weep not for what you have not got.
But be contented with your lot.
Things could have been a great deal worse.
Forget the foolish dreams you nurse
Weep not.
Such foolish dreams are best forgot
What fate decreed has come to be.
Although you think that it should not.
Weep not.
Accept there’s nothing you can do.
Fate is more powerful than you.
Either a blessing or a curse.
But something that you can’t reverse.
You have no choice you know it’s true.
Weep not.

Wise advice. I love the form Ivor. I need to try one of those. 
I prefer to keep an open mind,....but not so much that my brains fall out.- Carl Sagan

No two people interpret a poem in the same way.Filtered through their own experience the message they receive becomes personal to them.
