Staying On Target

It is wise to measure
How much we do each day
And not to fill our days so full
That we don't even weigh...

The end result of "much ado"
And how it takes a toll.
If we do this long enough
We seem to lose control.

When we are propelled along
By schedule and demand,
The goals we should be working on
Are lost and will not stand.

It's wise to take some time each day
In quietness and thought
To contemplate all that we do
And focus as we ought.

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 KJV

"It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep."
Psalm 127:2 KJV
