I have a poem on my "I love me wall" that was carried all through my career. My Dad told it to me the day I enlisted.
Peace and Grace
used to rule this place
and angels guarded the door
now peace is dead
and the angels have fled
and grace has turned into a whore.....
His way of telling me to watch my six every day......
I have an "I love me wall" also.
No poetry - just awards, pictures, plaques, that sort of thing. And a mirror - to remind myself of reality.
