The lists grow long
by J. Randal Matheny © 2011
The lists grow long of things to do,
The mind weighs heavy with tasks and chores,
While we slept the burdens grew,
We're lost at sea without our oars.
Write down each one to the very last,
Choose one and work until it's done,
Go steady, don't stop, don't switch, don't run—
Your power to finish, unsurpassed.
