Desiderata

Is a poem by Max Ehrmann given to me by my Mum when I left home to go to university. It talks of striving to be at peace with the world as you live your life and it is very inspiring. When I'm facing times of stress, no matter how small, I read it again, it's pinned on my noticeboard, always there for me.
This pair of scissors was wrapped with a soft, shiny linen yarn with a calm purpose that the poem encourages.
