Your Resume

Don't exist for your resume alone,
       live with imaginative passion
             anchored on principled boldness
                   with ease born of graced conviction;

for, in compromising the truth,
      there's nothing remotely ennobling,
            and until you can say no firmly,
                   your strongest yes means nothing;

of course, at times you get confused,
      but trust your heart will show  the line
            and you're braver, truer every time,
                   and, yes, your resume will be just fine!
