They say that fools rush in,
Where angels fear to tread,
What a silly notion,
To get inside your head.
If you don’t go out and grab it,
It’s just not going to come,
No one gets rewarded,
For sitting on their bum.
You truly have the power,
To make your dream come true,
But you have to be courageous,
Rush in, don’t wait, just do.
Be prepared to work so hard,
Even if you’re tired,
Put the effort in every day,
Not just when you feel inspired.
The rewards will come after much hard work,
They’re all there for the taking,
Never give up, never give in,
It’s a new life that you’re making.
If you think it will come easy,
You’re going to have to learn,
It just doesn’t work that way,
What you want, you must earn.
And when your new life happens,
People will say you’re lucky,
Just smile with grace and tell them,
“Nope, I worked for it ducky!”

My former writing partner needs a sign on his desk saying “Put the effort in every day, Not just when you feel inspired.”

Debbie – did you write this? It’s amazing, seriously.
Bloody hell – my timing of coming back to #BloggerClubUK is inch perfect!!
This is just the type of poem/writing/inspiration – whatever you want to call it – I needed to read because I’ve a few ideas that I want to execute on but I’m not hitting them effectively. Net result = frustration.
Ya know what I call this poem? ‘Powerful’.
Nice one!
(Right, I’m off to read it again!).
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you so much – I’m always scared my poems aren’t good enough to share so that means a lot to me. And I’m glad it came at such a good time for you!

Oh, dont you just love the old “you’re so lucky” line…Great poem #BloggerClubUK

I love this! Me and my husband often get told we’re ‘lucky’ with our business. My husbands parents died when he was a young teenager and he raised 4 siblings alone with no money. Very lucky right! He worked for everything he has. And I left Uk and moved to Africa with 300 quid in my bank and no qualifications! People see what you have now and forget how hard you worked to get there. Unfortunately people want a free ride al lot of the time. (ummm just realized how much I just blew our own trumpets haha – oops). Great poem x x #BloggerClubUK
Debbie, My Random Musings
Well I sure wouldn’t call that lucky – it’s determination and dammed hard work! x
