Driven Drive

WriteBeLight

I am driven to be fair.

I am driven to be kind.

Not such easy things to do,

Each and every time.

 

I am driven to be productive,

Not let others waste my time.

Be distracted by distractions,

That suck brains cells of mine.

 

There’s a time for social fun,

For laughter and for jokes.

To sit and shoot the breeze,

But, too much, my mood’s provoked.

 

There’s always that gnawing feeling,

That lost time is un-retrieved.

You’ll end up on the short end,

There’s always less than you need.

 

And, you’ll look back in disgust,

Distractions got the better of you.

Leaving you without the resources,

To get all things done, you needed to.

    One of the beauties of retirement is the ability to waste time and not get taken to task for it.
    I do remember when it wasn't so.

      If, at the end of the day, I can say I've achieved something today no matter how small then its not been a wasted day- I'm sure you achieve something worthwhile every day WBL

        You not got time to think about if you may be wasting time? You was saying.... but then you was distracted? Did another distraction then come along, to distract you even more? And have you got time to consider if I'm wasting time by waffling here?! I wish I would shut up! heehee. Good write.
