oh, the spiritless toil
blood, sweat, and tears
those task-ridden years
day after day after day
work life balance no way
how did I miss the call
life’s not one size fits all
why I’ve spilled enough ink
no copy/paste no lip sync
my vigor up and gone
it’s the same old song
signs signs everywhere signs
shut the noise in my mind
my ego weeps eternally

A gander at me –
I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years being rewarded both professionally and personally. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams by doing things I enjoy…spending time with family, learning, sharing, traveling, writing poetry and encouraging others to pursue their goals.
