Take a Breather

A Potter
Take a breather, my dear

it will give you a break.

Take a breather, my dear,

please for heaven's sake

I know you will need it,

your body's calling for a rest

Take a minute to sit,

you're just trying to do your best.

Life is there, presenting stress,

Gee, what do we do

to relieve this mess?

Hang on and attempt to proceed,

for we must complete our deeds.

Take time to sit and unwind,

relax, eat, sleep.

Whatever it takes to ease the mind.

Once that stage of calm is reached,

it will be a feeling beyond compare.

Then you will realize,

that complications will be there.

But always remember to,

even if you must drop a tear,

to sit, relax, and unwind, and

take a breather, my dear.

I love to write, from creative writing to poetry, and more. I love to inspire and motivate others. I feel that the best way to reach and motivate others is through writing, which is something I've done since...  View profile

    Seems like when you write you express, from the heart, soul and as well the spirit.Keep up the good work. Look forward to seeing your work in a magazine.
