The Eve of a New Career
Tomorrow is the day when I will finally see
If I’m made of the right stuff the decision made by me
Now I have to follow through I have no other choice
I had to exercise my rights I had to use my voice
Not standing up to being used as I had been for so long
I don’t even feel like what I did was so wrong
I walked in then quit with few words truly spoken
But instead of feeling forlorn or even broken
I feel like I’m ready for a new challenge and one of delight
It may be so wrong but it just feels so right
On the edge on the verge of a brand new career
Something not lost in the momentum, no fear
So as I go on with what I must do and must say
I’m looking forward to a newly bright and wonderful day
If I’m made of the right stuff the decision made by me
Now I have to follow through I have no other choice
I had to exercise my rights I had to use my voice
Not standing up to being used as I had been for so long
I don’t even feel like what I did was so wrong
I walked in then quit with few words truly spoken
But instead of feeling forlorn or even broken
I feel like I’m ready for a new challenge and one of delight
It may be so wrong but it just feels so right
On the edge on the verge of a brand new career
Something not lost in the momentum, no fear
So as I go on with what I must do and must say
I’m looking forward to a newly bright and wonderful day

Dear M,
Having been in this situation myself this piece called to mind all the thoughts leaving a job creates. Mostly relief. “So as I go on with what I must do and must say
I’m looking forward to a newly bright and wonderful day” your closing stanza is perfect because it’s so true. A new career can be nerve wracking but the possibilities of opportunities yet tapped are bright. A lovely and hope filled poem. Best of luck and fun in your new position. H🌷
