Throreau's Lesson Poem by Richard Noggin

Throreau's Lesson



Throreau wrote about people being
Able to choose the path they walk on
He states that often we are given to much
Perhaps all our stuff clouds our perception
Today I received news that a former classmate
Was promoted to ICU Unit Manager at a major hospital
In the span of four years
He was able to fast track his way to a position of wealth and power
I admit I was jealous of his success
Somehow I have failed to achieve any position
I feel like a failure
Or perhaps I am not
Perhaps my path
Has greater riches at hand
I have the power to overcome obstacles
I just have to believe in myself
And choose to change
