You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right
Desira - desiderata
Desidera - ta

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
And remember what peace there may be, in silence
As far as possible without surrender,
Be on good terms with all persons
Speak your truth quietly and clearly,
And listen to others,
Even the dull and ignorant;
They too have their story

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
They are vexations to the spirit
If you compare yourself with others,
You may become vane and bitter;

For always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself

You are a child of the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Enjoy your achivements as well as your plans
Keep interested in your own career,
However humble;
It is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
For the world is full of trickery
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
Many persons strive for high ideals;
And everywhere life is full of heroism

Be yourself
Especialy 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

Take kindly the council of the years,
Gracefully serrendering the things of youth
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune
But do not distress yourself with imaginings
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness
Beyond a wholesome discipline;
Be gentle with yourself

You are a child of the universe,
No less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
And whether or not it is clear to you,
No doubt the universe is unfolding;
As it should

Therefore be at peace with god,
Whatever you conceive him to be,
And whatever your labours and aspirations,
In the noisey confusion of life,
Keep peace with your soul

With all it's sham,
Drudgery and broken dreams,
It is still a beautiful world
Be careful strive to be happy

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
You have a right to be here
You are a child of the universe
