Here is the poem by Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda (1904-1973), that came my way on Facebook last Thursday, which I promised to share today. This is the one that made me think of Friday’s post, Desiderata, by Max Ehrmann.

Pablo Neruda is the pen name of a Chilean poet who was in this world from 1904 until 1973. Yesterday, a poem by this writer came my way on Facebook, and I immediately liked it because of its content of life lessons. It reminded me of another poem which I have had in my possession for many years and read daily. It too, is full of advice on living. Desiderata was written by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) around 1920. Today I will share Desiderata and on Monday, Pablo Neruda’s poem. Both poems are for me, an inspirational find.
