Home and The Office - Inspirational poem by Edgar Albert Guest | Poetry That Inspires - Work Life Balance

People's poet Edgar Albert Guest perhaps wrote this poem somewhere in the early 1900s - urging his readers to draw a boundary between their homes and their offices.
Fast forward to 2021 and the WFH scenario, I find his advice soothing and practical.
This poetic reminder is our next video in the Poetry That Inspires series.
I hope it cheers you up!
Regards, Simerjeet Singh

Edgar Guest offers great advice in this inspirational poem on spending time with your family at home, despite the pressures that might have been put on your shoulders at work. Home should be a place where you can let go of your worries and reminisce with the people you care about. Edgar Guest was known for writing poetry with a positive message about daily life.

Listen to these inspirational words if you want to improve your work life balance.

Home And The Office

Home is the place where the laughter should ring,
A man should be found at his best.
Let the cares of the day be as great as they may,
The night has been fashioned for rest.
So leave at the door when the toiling is o'er
All the burdens of worktime behind,
And just be a dad to your girl or your lad-
A dad of the rollicking kind.

The office is made for the tasks you must face;
It is built for the work you must do;
You may sit there and sigh as your cares pile up high,
And no one may criticize you;
You may worry and fret as you think of your debt,
You may grumble when plans go astray,
But when it comes night, and you shut your desk tight,
Don't carry the burdens away.

Keep daytime for toil and the nighttime for play,
Work as hard as you choose in the town,
But when the day ends, and the darkness descends,
Just forget that you're wearing a frown-
Go home with a smile! Oh, you'll find it worthwhile;
Go home light of heart and of mind;
Go home and be glad that you're loved as a dad,
A dad of the fun-loving kind.
