Work and Play

Today's Poem

Work and Play

So much to do but don't dismay
A time for work, a time for play
All things in time will have their place
There's always chance to find some space

You won't move on to where you should
Unless the pace you set is good
The balance is crucial, please beware
An unknown demon's always there

Be it stressed or lazy mind
Success won't come to see this kind
It waits for when the soil is rich
And then arrives to make its pitch

Then still there's chance to get this wrong
Your chance needs claiming, just be strong
For if you choose to look away
Then life won't work, and none will play

The time has come to claim this gift
Enough has passed, no time to drift
Rise up from lethargy and from doubt
And work, play, learn what life's about
