Evening Flight
So when the days are flying fast
with much to do, and little rest.
Prioritize each moment, task,
that when all's done, the all is blest.

The flying thoughts swift past my face
tug at my strength with greater draw.
"I need Thy Help, O God of Grace,
before I enter Too Fast's maw."

"Slow down the flying jobs to do
at saving pace, that I may find
some way to honor all for You
with gifts you've given greatly kind."

The body ages
parse the task.
Watch the gauges.
'Sall I ask.

Fly soon.
Rest now.
Fly now.
Rest lost.

Watch out!
SPEED!
Help mind!
SLOW!

Take
it
one
task
at
a
time.
