This is my favorite poem. My grandfather gave my brother a framed copy and said that this captured a lot of the wisdom he accumulated through his life experiences. Since then, I've read it at least a few times a month. Reliably, a verse from Desiderata will be the antidote to some crisis I'm having. Ehrmann forfeited his copyright allowing Desiderata to be distributed freely, which feels fitting for his philosophy.
