Nothing Gold Can Stay\nby Robert Frost:\n\nNature's first green is gold,\nHer hardest hue to hold.\nHer early leaf's a flower;\nBut only so an hour.\nThen leaf subsides to leaf.\nSo Eden sank to grief,\nSo dawn goes down to day.\nNothing gold can stay.\n\n\n\ncan that work for you?

For me that is such a difficult question to answer.  I have so many favorites.  \n\nThe whole poem Desiderata is beautiful and profound.  Every line is special so I will quote only the last ones:\n\n"Therefore be at peace with God, \nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. "\n\nThen from High Flight by John Gillespie Magee we have:\n\n"Up, up the long delirious, burning blue \nI've topped the windswept heights with easy grace \nWhere never lark, or even eagle flew. \nAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod \nThe high untresspassed sanctity of space, \nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God."\n\nFinally, I would refer you to a poem called Little Bateese by william Henry Drummond.  It is deceptively simple, but again profound.  It speaks of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, one of the things that really matter in life for sure.  There is nothing as special as the love of a grandparent and grandchild for each other.  The last lines of the poem are:\n\n"But leetle Bateese! please don't forget\nWe rader you 're stayin' de small boy yet, \nSo chase de chicken an' mak' dem scare\nAn' do w'at you lak wit' your ole gran'pere\nFor w'en you 're beeg feller he won't be dere--\nLeetle Bateese!"\n\nTranslation:  \nBut little Bateese!  Please don't forget\nWe'd rather you stayed a small boy yet\nSo chase the chickens and make them scared\nAnd do what you like with your old grandpere\nFor when you're a big fellow he won't be there -\nLittle Bateese!\n\nI get carried away with poetry!

Aw, that's cute. :)\nI probably could whip up a poem for you, but I usually charge. I'm a published poet you see. I'll do things for free for my friends though.\nJust send that poem. If you wrote it yourself it will be that much more special to your friend. :)

go to open mike nites at your local coffee houses....it's always better when you know the person who's writing the poems..........I'm a stand up beat poet and I can tell you that's there's nothing better than the reaction you see from a girl when you give her a poem

Sure, but you're question is a bit vague. What, specifically, do you want to know? I can type out the entire poem for you, if that's what you need.

Anything from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Most of the poems were turned into songs for the musical Cats which is based on the book. You could learn the song as an easy way to memorize the poem. I suggest "The Song of the Jellicles" (aka.  "Jellicle Cats").\nhttp://www.americanpoems.com/poets/tseliot/5539

Well... You can look for the website yourself, really, but maybe you could put up the poem so ppl can read it and give you some commentary on it, might be easier.

Hope you like.... \n\n you asked twice so I answered twice.....

I found this poem and author on a site called "Poem Hunter", an amateur poetry writing community.  So, to answer your question, no, this poem is not famous, except perhaps in the mind of the poet.
