So little done, so much to do (Cecil Rhodes)
Morning yawn, morning breeze,
Pulling and stretching the sleeping muscles
Dew blankets and washes the morning leaves
Birds sing, harmonious songs
To wake our minds,
Like worker ants tasked, matching orders
Slowly we start the working day
Cups of tea, freshly brewed
Helps the yawning minds to wake
Another mark to be made today
Another hem sewed, for garment worn
In the 9 to 5 of clickety clock
To earn our keep, clickety clock
On pay roll clock, clock-ins, ch ching
In the cycle of life, of the working week
Another clock works, clickety clock
Tics, tocs, alarm bell rings, birds out
Another working day to earn our loaf
So little done, so much to do
With ambitions dreamed awakin minds
Clickety clock, quick now, time goes toc
smiles nice plod through the day...they happen quicker and quicker the older i get...time between alarms shorter and shorter...cling to those dreams...

praying for a more muted silence, that you may relax, enjoy, breathe.
Me too: So little done, so much to do. Time moves so quickly, and I wonder what I accomplish.
