It isn’t the chore, it isn’t the dough
It is joy that is life’s greater ploy
Some days when chips are down
You feel pensive for no single reason

Nights are sombre, days are gloomy
Seasons are mundane and you feel arcane
You want to rewind and go back in time
You want to relieve and reconcile the pain
You want to relive the old times again

It isn’t in films, it isn’t in shows
It’s only in life’s complex shores
You want to sail and rarely fail, yet
You are slapped a fee that you can’t flee
You crave for time to introspect, yet
Time itself makes you circumspect

You want to leave some thoughts
‘cause those stare down an abyss
You want to live some thoughts
‘cause those shine some promise

You want dispirited times to leave, but
It crawls to make you persevere
Faith isn’t a thing to not believe
Hope isn’t a thing to not desire
Life is a thing to relish and live today

Each such Today’s you build
Every such Today you archive
Reflections tomorrow will be bold
You wouldn’t’ care to rewind and relive
