Desiderata
The last time I visited my grandparents I noticed a framed poem--Desiderata--hanging in the kitchen. It was amazing. I was immediately taken with it. The words really moved me. The calligraphy was lovely, too.
So, later, I found an attractive print online and framed it from my stash of garage sale frames. And I hung it in my kitchen. Its a beautiful piece--something to aspire to--and it makes me think of my grandparents--people to aspire to as well.

This was done as a song in the seventies - it was very popular. It's wisdom. I'm glad you discovered it!
ReplyDeleteI will have to go find a recording of that! Thanks, Lisa!
DeleteI just adore this! I'd love to find a copy for myself as well.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt bought a copy to frame recently, too. But, you could print something off the web I am sure.
DeleteBeautiful. And it looks perfect next to your adorable spice rack!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jamie! It was JUST the spot for it. Like it had been waiting to be filled with this poem!
DeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! I am so glad you "brought it home"
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
