More poetry...

Anyone know why someone who isn't a big poetry fan would be so attracted to poetry all of a sudden?  This is another one that landed in my lap the other day that really touched me.  Yes, it's only a snippet.  Still, my soul says a big YES!

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
   Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow
   Find us farther than today.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
