To have reached an accord,
should we stumble and fall,
we'd not wallow there long,
we would rise and be done
with whatever'd gone wrong.
Were the day turned to night,
no lament would we speak,
of no consequence, sight,
when there's nothing to seek.
Should the tasks we've been set
seem impossibly hard,
and the means to an end
be as bad as it gets,
we would still find the strength,
should we be in accord
as incredible lengths
would be within our reach.
When the day is at end,
having done what we can
for both family and friends,
there remains one more task
set for those of our creed.
That for all of these things
to ring true we must ask
of the paper and pen
to attend to our needs.

Dr. Moose,
This sounds easier than done. Beautifully written.

Dr. Moose,
I realize I should have carded this for the library. Thanks. There's a lot here. Bump and charge to the library!

This is a neat write. And yes, the paper and pen grow more elusive with each day. Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
