Today's Poem

We Will Not Rest

We will not rest until we're through
There's far too much for us to do
Unceasing in the quest we serve
From all its needs we will not swerve

Although Rome took more than a day
It wasn't built by looking away
Each detail needed focussed thought
Success was worked for, and thus brought

A brief reprise from time to time
Then pushing forward, fighting grime
And washing decay from every place
In hope to see a smiling face

For every act and chore we do
Will help in ways we never knew
We're worth more than we'd ever believe
Great hopes are here we must achieve

So listen to people who move out
And get things done, not scream and shout
The lazy never will be blessed
Then let's beware of too much rest
