From Courtship to Breakup

A Career's Journey

Dream job starts, with heart full of desire,

Hurdles met, you climb the ladder.

Mentoring others with grace,

Learning at your own pace,

Time creeps in, change nears,

Bittersweet, tears,

It’s the end

Oh No,

Yes!

    I love the cyclical nature of it. Showing, in break up, there is still optimism and a next phase with one word.

  • Enjoyed your nice poem.
