I saw this poem in a book I'm reading and I really liked it. Maybe because I'm the daughter of a carpenter and the wife of a contractor, it resonated with me. The author is unknown and it was found mounted in a dusty old frame at St. Mary's Church in Rye, Enlgand:
Upon the wreckage of thy yesterday,
Design the structure of tomorrow.
Lay strong cornerstones of purpose, and prepare
Great blocks of wisdom cut from past despair.
Shape mighty pillars of resolve, to set
Deep in the tear-wet mortar of regret.
Work on with patience, though thy toil be slow,
Yet day-by-day thy edifice shall grow.
Believe in God - in thine own self believe -
All thou has desired thou shalt achieve.
