Bully the week

 

Do not bully the week

Push and prod the days

Or try to start the engine with a kick

Do not demand more than you can from the day

 

Hold on to the hours like precious flowers

Nurture water and caress

Do not cajole or demand

An exacting price of payment

Upon yourself

Because today is as heavy as lead

Just reward yourself for rising

Getting up out of bed

Greeting the day

Eating walking talking

 

Do not castigate yourself with

Another month gone

And what have I got to show

Today you have shown nothing

Neither laughter or contempt

But you are living

Breathing vital and supreme

In a day when all else is rubbish

And you can say

But hey tomorrow

Is a day when for more than an hour or two

I will excel
