Forward to the Rear

Sometimes, no matter how hard the effort,

In spite of every best intention,

I only seem to be moving backward

Into a state of futility.

Just can’t seem to catch a break,

Smitten with the curse of Job

Whose patience here was challenged

More than humans need to be.

Progress is a fragile flower

Sore in need of tender care.

Fertilized with vigilance,

Nourished by a single tear.

Dogged by persistence,

Determined to endure.

I’ll carry you on weary legs

Forward to the rear.
