also here are two I like very much for those gatherings where like a tasteful, moderate quantity of Jesus energy is not inappropriate
The older I get, the more I seem to be able to appreciate my "neighbor" (whomever I happen to be with at the moment). Oh, sure, l've always tried to love my neighbor as myself; however, the more experiences I've had, the more chances I've had to see the uniqueness of each person... as well as each tree, and plant, and shell, and cloud... the more I find myself delighting every day in the lavish gifts of God, whom I've come to believe is the greatest appreciator of all. - Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers You say grace before meals. All right. But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink. -G. K. Chesterton

I recommend "The Making of a Poem: A Norton Anthology of Poetic Forms" by Eavan Boland & Mark Strand because it gives description, history & example poems.
