Plane Rough Edges Poem by John Sensele

Welcome each morning with a prudent perspective
Expecting the best, injecting your best shot
In each task, each endeavour to achieve
The best outcomes you've ever thought.

Welcome each challenge life throws your way
Seize each opportunity with neither rancour nor complaint
To deliver your best output as you play
Your cards right and post a positive impression to correct a dreary dent.

Welcome each opportunity to rectify past mistakes
Made in the course of learning the ropes
In your career, courtship and communication as stakes
Rose higher when you slid along steep life's slopes.

Welcome each occasion to forgive
Lost sheep, misled companions, misunderstood comrades
To whom by all means you need to tend an olive
Branch and mend fences instead of cosseting trivial tirades.
