Day 7: Work
Work
They say it keeps you agile in your body and soul
Sharpens your mind and cuts your muscles
-Gives you bread in return.
But if you devote your life to it, you'll never return
We get but one and do need things to lighten the soul
when it wanes like tired muscles.
Why age and wish you also toned and stretched heart muscles?
Then fill with regret as time and people flee, never to return?
Instead embrace your days and strengthen your soul.
Because the soul remains when body and muscles fade, never to return.
Here's to Tritinas being a less daunting Sestina.
