There are days when you wake up
With a spring in your step
Energized, ready to take the world on
By its proverbial horn
A lot you accomplish in that day
You think such days would pave the way
For you to aim higher; more achieve
You are invincible, or so you believe
**
Then there are days when life drags you down
You shuffle your feet, your forehead has a frown
When all you wish is to crawl in your bed
Yet put one foot in front of the other instead
You manage to get work done somehow
Using as little energy as your body would allow
**
I used to think that that the days that made a difference
Were the ones full of energy and exuberance
Yet, with passage of time I’ve made this observation-
Sleepwalking through slow days just for self-preservation
Is equally important- it is the ability during such days
To put one foot before the other along the way
That propels us forward, for such days are many more
Plowing ahead during tough times ensures
That eventually the destination is reached
Your goal you have finally achieved.
