This poem was famous a few years ago, but I realise a lot of people haven't come across it, so thought I'd put a link on here. Worth printing out and sticking on your wall!!!! Hope others love it as much as I do!

Love

Hi. Rose. Agin in ref. to the above. Have just re-read. The sentence, "But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings" is something that is very relevant to this site!!... Love again. jonathan.

''Be yourself.

Especially, do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

it is as perennial as the grass. ''

I like it a lot x

Iv`e seen Desiderata hanging on many a wall in my time, & I remember another saying that Iv`e seen which is very relevant, it goes something like this" give me the strengh to accept the things that I cannot change, the ability to change the things that I can, & the wisdom to know the difference".
