Stretch Not the Fiber
As we often try to catch up to tomorrow
We let our lives lose focus on what’s right
The moral fiber, that exists within us
Soon snaps because we’ve pulled it way too tight
Let’s slow down and not worry about what may be
Remember what we must be and do for fellow man
Send love, compassion, pay homage and just be good
Acknowledge others by extending out a hand
Don’t worry, tomorrow will always get here
Though, it may not be what you were hoping for
But, you can smile in knowing you’ve done the right things
After all is said and done, could you want more?
Relax the fiber, then, that is within us
Use it well to help you make a choice
You will reach tomorrow and those thereafter
Because you heard the fiber’s little voice...conscience
