Priorities

What to do and when to do it,

Help me, Lord, find my way through it.

Just keeps getting tougher all the time.

As many needy palms beseech

As pebbles strewn upon the beach,

As muddled as a syncopated mime.

 

Need an organized triage

To treat this maddening barrage

Insuring most important tasks get done.

Caffeine may help clear the brain

To deal with lessers that remain

And maybe leave a little time for fun.

 

If we can swift prioritize

Events that come into our lives

With all the logic each must quantify,

Then as we opt which way to go

We seek the wisdom of Thoreau

And log his sage advice… simplify.

 

Tangled, tossed priorities

Buzzing like the busy bees,

An easy one word summary…

Simplify.
