This poem is such a beautiful celebration of life! I quote it almost every day. Longfellow wrote this after the death of his wife which is remarkable because he loved her so much and yet was able to write such an inspiring poem. it is a poem that should be read at any time, especially when ur happy or when ur sad or hopeless looking for some inspiration.

This is one of the most spiritual and inspirational poems I've read. Longfellow was depressed at the time and yet he spoke with incentive. It tells me we are not to live our life in vain but to live a moral life worth living. We do not live to die. We are blessed with to live in this world for a short amount of time and during this period we should live with hope, love, and courage.
