Thanks Poem by Raymond A Foss

For listening, for hearing me
Prodding to balance the hurt
And the need to be on my game
In the game, on point and focused
To be my best right now on the things
That matter in my life yesterday,
Today, this week, this moment
Of my life here and now present

Letting go of the rest
Even for those moments
To do what I need to do
To see the beauty in simple
Completion of tasks on a list
Bullets and sub-pieces
Units that make the whole
Only when listed and reflected
In the future.
