Did You Narrowly Escape The Day

Did you narrowly escape the day
Did the stress almost get you
Did the memories catch you
And the worries I bet you

Were right on your heels
They got there so quickly right along with the bills
Did you take time to pray
Did you narrowly escape the day

And tomorrow you'll be running and running again
Running into something to break or bend
Some call it the rat race and lately it's picked up the pace
Do you have someone who will give you an embrace

Your blood pressure is increasing
Your dreams still have you reaching
And your doctor tells you what a price you will pay
Did you narrowly escape the day

Your poem so aptly describes what my life was like before I retired. It hints at the hectic nature of what it was like, and even the sometimes fleeting check on 'remembering to pray' during the frenzy. It isn't anything that I miss now, but I can smile knowingly at my having "escaped the day" entirely.

Thanks for sharing.wine
