Poem, Open the Door to Life
My day job is an Executive Coach and I work with individuals to break through barriers and make positive changes in their life. Recently I have coached a few people who are doing just that, they are now ready and willing to face the stormy waters to eventually get to the calm sea ahead. The weather may be changeable and challenging at times but by riding the huge waves, it makes us stronger from within. Real change happens from the ‘inside out’, start there first. This indeed inspired this next poem.
Open the Door to Life
What’s stopping you, from dancing in the rain?
What’s keeping you, from moving away from the pain?
The clouds will move on, the sunshine will appear
Uplifting your spirits and filling you with cheer
Just take a moment, to treasure all you’ve got
I bet when you really think about it, you have such alot
Open the door to life, let the fresh air in
Don’t let the bumps on the road, keep you from a win
For there comes a time, when enough is enough
Lift your head high and challenge the rough
Soon you’ll be amazed, what you can achieve
Smile with an open heart and really do believe
