Graceful

Hi can I use 'graceful' in this context:

"our children are not always as

successful and graceful

as we wish they would have been."

is it sounds natural to use that word 'graceful' in this context?

if no, can someone please suggest another word that would fit here but will convey the same meaning as 'graceful'?

Thanks for reading my question!
