Different moments on one day -
it could start with a giant leap
as if you were on a slide
whizzing straight forward

But then again, moments
looming like mountains
making you stop at once
and hold your breath

A day's length's too far ahead
to foresee when time can
seem a windscreen wiper
on a foggy road

Try not to concern too much:
still so many moments to go
look how far you've come
from point zero

So count your blessings
keep your fingers crossed
and feel the progress
you have made
