Does anyone remember the poem? I have referred to it many times in my life in the 70's it was put on a record, does anyone know of the poem or remember the record and what do you think of the words in the poem?

Max Ehrmann in 1927 wrote the poem.
from snopes:
The spoken version of Desiderata earned a Grammy award for Les Crane in 1971. Like many others, he'd seen the words on a poster and mistakenly thought them to be in the public domain. That error cost him -- he was later forced to share the royalties with the late Ehrmann's family. (Ehrmann's original 1927 copyright was renewed in 1954 by Bertha Ehrmann, and is now held by Robert L. Bell of Sarasota, Florida.)
