Sarah Potter (sarahpotterwrites) guided me to this poem after reading my post yesterday (“They will tell you that you can’t get it done…). She stated that she had this Edgar Guest poem pinned to her wall next to her desk. Thank you for sharing Sarah. Love it.
Edgar Guest (1881-1959) wrote this poem in 1938. He was a journalist, poet and author for the Detroit Free Press where he started as a copyboy and worked his way up to a become a popular national syndicated columnist in 300 papers with his column “Breakfast Table Chat.”
