Start With One

I ran everywhere under the sun Trying to get all my tasks done I planned my day and what I must do That there was time I truly knew I worked and I worked by the sweat of my brow Not one of my tasks got done somehow So I tried once again the very next day Listing all my tasks the very same way I started with this and continued with that Then all of a sudden I knew not where I was at I planted part of my garden and trimmed half the tree Then I remembered I had no priority The next day began and I planned what to do What should be first and then number two My day was finally ready and I did all I began From beginning to end my race I had ran With all of our tasks from the first to the last Little gets done when we go way too fast Line upon line we all must learn Step by step our wages we’ll earn So when at last the day is done You’ll be much farther if you start at ONE
