Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

If Every Day

If every day
you set about
to dig a little trench,

and though the end
is far away,
you carve another inch,

and all the while,
enjoy the craft,
admire the progress made,

that length of trench
will melt away:
persistent toil, well paid.

Jeff Kyser March 10, 2022 at 9:29 AM a lesson taught to us over years of "hurry up", when we finally realize we can't bull our way through things quickly any more!

Kenneth Cheney March 10, 2022 at 9:05 AM Jeff this little rhyme is full of truth and sound wisdom. Well penned. Jeff Kyser March 10, 2022 at 9:28 AM Thank you, sir! I have found many a big job can melt away if you can focus on the immediate.
