     What would a story be without a moral?
Epilogue—The Moral of the Story…

We wish for things unspoken
For desires left behind
Not seeing that things we sought for
Have been there all the time

The peace we think is missing
The wealth we guess has passed
The love we’d thought we’d lost
Opportunities that seemed masked

It’s somehow all now silly
The complaints we often logged
We wallowed in self-pity
And blamed it on a job!

But after we found hope
Gave in to change of mind
The future turned from bleek
To treasure awaiting find

This ditty will serve its cause
If those who feel so trapped
Will remember this cubicle story
Look back, forget, and laugh.

There's a lot to be said for claiming he power of the present moment and harnessing it to move forward as this "Epilogue" so briliantly inspires one to do. Thank you for sharing it and have a great National Poetry/Jazz Appreciation Month.

Smart and witty girl you are; and I mean that with respect. This is good and I appreciate it. It sure makes sense to me. Love and peace to you,

"Look back, forget, and laugh"
Wise words spoken, for we all can be so humerous sometimes, and yet, we can't realize it until time passes, and we look back at how silly we were...
Enjoyed!
Love and Peace~
