One of my English teachers from highschool moved to Ohio and she keeps in touch with her students through e-mail. She sent this and I loved it. ^^;
I'VE READ THIS BEFORE, BUT I DON'T RECALL THE MENTION THAT AUDREY HEPBURN
ACTUALLY WROTE IT, OR THAT IT WAS REALLY READ AT HER FUNERAL. BUT, NO MATTER, IT
SAYS GOOD THINGS.
---------------------------
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her
"beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through
it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at
the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands;
one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
