Little Engine Like Me

Bundled with so many places to go
an extra ounce of energy
would put me over the top,
somewhere along this line 
I have need for a rest stop. 

Letting my mind get off and stretch
checking my fuel gauge and clearing my eyes
I have traveled far and long
will view the map and take a breather
my engine hums of spirit and song.

like the ‘little engine that could’
continues his climb with lots of smoke
Positive attitude and determination engaged  
I know I can make it up to the summit
chugging along for I have aged
