There are many versions of the following poem (see picture below), and many people associate it with Audrey Hepburn (although, it was written by Sam Levenson).
I'm posting it now in honor of National Poetry Month (April) - it's one of my favorites. If you take a moment to read it, I think you'll understand why...
In college, I actually made a wallet-sized copy of this poem so that I could pull it out from time to time and commit it to memory. I also made a gift of it in the form of a paired photo frame - one with a picture of friends and the opposite with this poem laid over the background of a soft rose.
Poems are things of beauty - they should be read, savored, memorized, loved, and shared.
So, if you don't have a poem rolling around in your head, might I suggest you take some time this April to memorize one? I think you'll find it quite rewarding...
i may or may not have said frame ;)
