Give It A Rest

Sometimes, too often probably,

I stop and reflect on my life

and one of the things I think

is that I take my life too seriously.

We only live once, so

shouldn't we have fun? 

Shouldn't our goal be

to make the most of it?

But there are times when

I just can't let go, can't have fun

I take my responsibilities

way too seriously and get

way too frustrated when

they don't work out right. 

It would be wrong to 

advise you to have fun

fun needs to be tempered

with responsibility 

and serious goals

otherwise society becomes

one big carnival.

Or so I've been told.

So, take your responsibilities

seriously but, if you can, then

have some fun while you're at it.
