My mind does flit
From thing to thing
Tugged about
As on a string.
I must do this
I must do that
And then I stop
To chit and chat.
Oh, read this blog
No, over here
Laugh for joy
Shed a tear.
I should read
And I should write
Or clean the house
It’s such a sight!
Make a call
Or maybe two
It’s some of what
I have to do.
But what works best
I’ve always found
Is take a breath
And calm the sound.
The voices calling
In my head
Must keep silent
As I’ve said.
I will focus
On one task
And get it done
How? you ask.
I’ll make my list
From a to z (zed)
In this way
I’ll clear my head.
