I would have to say that this is in my list of top 5 favorite poems. I’m talking about Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. There’s been some myth surrounding this poem but regardless of its history, Ehrmann nailed it.
On days where I’m going through a bout of self doubt or anxiety, I like to go over this poem. It’s a gentle reminder of the wonders life offers and how much I really have to be grateful for.
It’s not a very long poem, but its simplicity only makes the words more striking.
The following two stanzas are my favorite and if we all took a line or two from it, I’m sure there’d be a lot more tolerance and love going around.
“You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.”
This poem was written in the 1920s but the message is everlasting.
It’ll only take you 5 minutes. Read this poem and I assure you, it’ll put a smile on your face and a lightness in your heart.

I am fed up with Men, Him as god even when someone says however you pecieve it to be, to many have unwittingly been used to further the crime of him-god. I am a man and i know myself to be GOD. yet i know that as a Man it is woman that is also my divine nature as much as God as even the trees. But the divine God is all that is LOVE Women and what we call man. lets see with our inner eye that god isnt just me man but me woman and where is she? she was Kiddnapped by who the other man god who cant handle the women god. Ronald Lee Vaught A part of the whole God called Wo-Man.
I have read the review above and I know God to be all. Not male or female. Blind faith. I am not God but God is in us all. Like a fork in the road, it’s all in what path you choose to take. Have a blessed day!
