Analysis of it is all it is



Simplify
A struggle ensues every time
that we leave our Front Door

Realize
That all that we do just has
somebody asking for more

Its Our Call
To stretch ourselves thin to the point
that we feel we might break

Stand still
And ask yourself this "Can we give
more than they can take?"

Life is short
A moment in time
meant to be spent joyfully

Consider
The Flowers of May that dance
in the breeze beautifully

Its been said
By one Lovely in thought
They toil not nor do they spin

Then step back
and ask one more time
Are we living the life that we're in?

It's a wonderful Journey
a gift
