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.
