The week was long and tedious,
And next week looks quite ominous.
To those who have the luxury,
Of a two-day break from monotony.
The weather looks fine, take a break and unwind.
Savor the days spent in leisure and play,
And look back on them when you are filled with dismay.
Remember the good, and the bad all the same.
For those two combined are what give you strength.
Though weekends are short,
And some non-existent,
We all must report,
That we still are persistent.
We will find our joy, someday, that’s for sure.
It might take a lifetime, or perhaps even more.
Just be careful and pay close attention,
To the small joys life gives you,
Without heed or mention.
When the hardships of life cause dread or anxiety,
Remember the trials you’ve surpassed up till presently.
The storms will soon calm,
And the dark clouds move on.
Eventually.
