My Wage
An inspirational poem about life. The verses describe the wage of life. It truly is dependant on ourselves to accept things as they are or to achieve more. For us, as we read the poetry, we are reminded of setting our goals to achieve what we once only dreamed of.by Jessie B. Rittenhouse
I bargained with life for a penny,
And life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;
For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of life,
Life would have paid.
Inspirational Words for Reflection:
If you set your goals, you are setting expectations for yourself.
Improving, learning, and encouraging your own self.
Rather than staying where you are, your goals are the encouragement, the motivation, and the sense of purpose that will propel you to success!
Goals give you the road map to the destination of your choice, you decide what is it you want and then set your goals, take action, and you will find you will be progressing towards your own destination.
Your life can be more. Set your goals, live your passion.
