What Is Your Elephant Today? Poem by Gelila A Gobena

'You can’t eat an elephant in a day'
I hear wise people say every day.
One small bite at a time they say
makes me wonder
how many bites I can take in a day
helps me figure out
what I can deal in day
so I choose to take it day by day.

What is your elephant today?

You can take it down some day
only if you take small bites enough for a day
one little bite is not so big at all
just choose your bites enough for the day
relax like me and take it day by day
you will finish your elephant one day.

I hope this will inspire you and make you smile today.
Then I’ll know that I have taken a bite of my elephant for the day.

What is your elephant today?
And remember one little bite at a time they say.
