Today's Poem

Pressure

When the pressure's mounting up
Remember to review life's cup
It overflows or runs clean dry
And only you can guess at why

Life can be hard at times, it's true
It doesn't matter where or who
So complex is this world we're in
We could but guess where to begin

Take time then, look around awhile
Perhaps change your pattern, or your style
No prizes for the lost and weak
But help them find the things they seek

A truly helpful soul is rare
Most ones you'll meet can only stare
But now and then true friends are there
Reminding you that still they care

So journey onward through the rain
It's time to make your stand again
And as for me, I'm just like you
Let's hope this pressure drives us through

Pressure is as pressure does
Your attitude I admire because
The road I've traveled had its curves
Corporate deadlines tested nerves
Friendship's value is always true
But in the end it's up to you

If life's pressure is mounting up, we should take a deep breath and bring it down. Thanks Simon!

I'm reminded that a spurt is a drip under pressure.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
