something to remember.
a short poem
Wherever you will go, and however long you will stay,
Whatever you endeavor to pursue, escape, do, see, or say,
Whether dreams are to be seen through, or torn cruelly asunder,
Whomever the fellow-travelers that will share each day,
and however overfull will be your schedule, mind, or luggage; pray,
May you never forget to leave some room for wonder.
