Downtime



If in August rest you take

To decompress, to have a break

Enjoy the best that summer offers

Do away with work-day bothers

Gather with your family

Too often time is rarely free

Feel not compelled to fill your day

With undone chores you’ve kept at bay

Nor try to squeeze in scheduled fun

Or take on wants from anyone

You’re on vacation so wrap it up

If you’re fatigued go nap it up!

Life is busy and obligated

Nerves get frayed, obliterated

Even two weeks every year

Is barely time to make heads clear

So be indulgent with YOUR needs

Unchoke the spirit’s field of weeds

It’s your respite, do as you please

We all need recharged batteries!
