One of my favourite poems
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all
those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep
roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was
broken
The crownless shall again be king !
-JRR Tolkien

Simple yet profound.
