What is one of your favorite poems?
Submitted by marvel is my pen name.
let me not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments. love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the remover to remove;
o no! it is an ever-fixed mark
that looks on tempests and is never shaken;
it is the star to every wandering bark,
who's worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
within his bending sickle's compass come;
love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
if this be error and upon me proved,
i never writ nor no man ever loved.
~william shakespeare
"Lord grant that I seek rather to comfort than to be comforted,
To understand than to be understood;
To love than to be loved . . ."
~St Francis Assisi
