Fostering Great Cooperation in the Workplace

Create Your Inner Peace

June 6, 2016 by Mary Motivator Rau-Foster

Comes the Dawn

From time to time, we need reminders about right thinking and the way to a peace-filled and successful life. The following poem is one of my favorites. It has been in my personal book of inspirational sayings that I have accumulated over the years. I hope you find it helpful as well.

        Comes the Dawn

After awhile you learn the subtle difference between holding
  a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises.

And you begin to accept your defeats with you head up and
  your eyes open.
With the grace of maturity, not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today because
  tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.

After awhile you learn that even sunshine burns if you get
  too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure…

That you really are strong
And that you really do have worth.
And you learn and learn and learn…
With every goodbye you learn.
