Clouds tinged crimson a setting sun
Lay down your head your day is done
When sunrise smiles take up the chase
Unfinished tasks, a time a place
Let naught suppress your motivation
Or your right to choose the road taken.
Do not toil only to attract applause
Or deviations from an intended course
A nod a wink, words known to be wise
Take an offered hand if needs arise
Live for the moment and always beware
Nothing gained if you stand and stare.
We all harbour thoughts at times unkind
Cast out phantoms that invade your mind
Lead by example not pleasing the crowd
Confront each and all your head unbowed
Always your decision you only to choose
Don't occupy space in another mans shoes.
