Maybe Tomorrow

When I go to work, at the start of the day, I ask of myself, “Will I earn my pay?” Will I give them more than’s expected of me, or the absolute minimum they need to see? No matter how old or how tired I get, I’m sure if I try there’s more life in me yet. I’ll meet every day with new vigour and speed, and try to give more, than the ‘least’ people need. So what if it leads to an earlier grave, while wrecking my body my soul I will save. But hang on a minute…. my advice, I will follow, though I’m too tired today, so ‘maybe tomorrow’. Ivor G Davies

No I noticed that your verse has changed from the Ramblings...seems to be more of a dark side and a doubting side with just a touch of anger here and there especially when it comes to being controlled as a youth...Nothing wrong with that...just think you're too big...to not get past it...notice I did not say old...I said Big...smile..Judy
