Happy birthday, Langston Hughes. Here is one of my favorite poems of all time:
From Christ to Ghandi
Appears this truth -
St. Francis of Assisi
Proves it, too:
Goodness becomes grandeur
Surpassing might of kings.
Halos of kindness
Brighter shine
Than crowns of gold,
And brighter
Than rich diamonds
Sparkles
The simple dew
Of love.
-- "Wealth" by Langston Hughes
