It matters not what paper a person prefers to read..
It's the people who read them and takes everything they read as the Gospel..
You can not judge a person on their preference when it come to newspapers and tv /radio ..
I like the Mirror for its crossword.. the Mail for its tv magazine.. Let people tell me that my choice is wrong simply because it is not their choice.. and I will tell that what I read I do not preach to others..

Let Me Go was very sad, reminded me of a funeral reading.

Neither did I     

Thank you Ruthio
Trying some flowers on this old canvas
If I do t like a painting I just paint over the top (underneath here  was a baby elephant .)
I don't do flowers  but there is a first time for everything .

Thank you Klondike I didn't know that .

Every day for one whole week

Hola my beauty where have you been !

   This is not a poem  but something that I read many, many years ago.. I think it is beautiful..
I have it framed and hanging on a wall..

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 vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons 
than yourself. Enjoy your achievements 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 .Especially
 do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantments
it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering  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 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.
Therefor be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and 
aspirations , in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham drudgery
and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world . Be careful . Strive to be happy.

Found in Old Saint Paul's Church , Baltimore; Dated 1692.
