YOU OFTEN WONDER

Where did the day go or
The week, month and even the year
We watch time fly by
There are many variables which
Affect our attitude and satisfaction
We reflect on what has transpired
Accomplishments, growth and failures
There were opportunities 
We know we missed, but
For now we only have this day
I look at the clock
There are less than two hours left
I peek back on what has gone on
Conclude that this day was successful
There is no end to what can be done
Our energy levels are important
Some days we feel like sleeping
This is a sign of age
A nap is not all bad, but
A whole day in bed cannot be healthy
There may be some underlying reason
I do not think about depression
It is a natural occurrence, but
Not a reason to stop living
There is so much to do and as
I said, time is flying
No need to regroup, but
There is a need to keep on moving and
Finding joy in all the things that
Come your way
This leads to a fullness that not
Everyone enjoys
If we are lucky
There will be a tomorrow and
We can start in all over
