Poem by Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis)
Here are the things, dear friend, which make life not impossible to take:
Riches bequeathed, not won by toil;
Fire on the hearth; responsive soil;
No law suits but wise disarmingness;
A healthy body, and a mind alert,
But peaceably inclined;
Congenial guests; a table set
Without excessive etiquette;
Nights free from worry,
A bed warm with the presence
Of a significant other,
Slumber, to make the shadows swift,
Contentment with your native gifts;
And, without longing or dismay,
The prospect of your final day.

and your question, if it were there, would be......what?
And oh, by the way, you may be a homeschool person, but you would still ask your homework questions in the homework section. It's way to confusing to find the correct information when people categorize their questions based on who they are instead of what they are asking.
And to come on here to get people to do your homework for you is cheating.

It sounds like a poem that could have the title "Peace of Mind". I like it.

You need to do your own homework. How are you going to learn anything by having us do it for you?
