The evening shadows are falling, my days work is over,
The day had been a day full of action,
I try to reconcile my actions with my long held beliefs,
Hoping that my thoughts will provide some satisfaction.
As I am thinking my mind is filled with doubt,
I cannot be sure if my objective has been achieved,
I know that in many ways, I have been successful,
But, in other ways I know I have been deceived.
I tell myself that many things are impossible,
But, my thoughts tell me that with a little effort on my part,
I could have done a lot more to impress my neighbours,
And could have fulfilled the longings in my heart.
To achieve objectives in part can never be enough,
To achieve our full potential must surely be our aim,
We must strive to achieve real satisfaction,
And to become a winner in life’s game.
Sleep does not come easy to a troubled mind,
Sleep does not come easy to a mind filled with regret,
We have to work hard to fulfil our potential,
Sleep will only come when we can forget.
We must try to forget the failures in our life,
Concentrate out thoughts on the things, we have achieved,
Resolve to do much better in the future,
To take advantage of the truths we have perceived.
Our concerns will lessen as we think about our success,
When we allow positive thoughts to fill our head,
In this way peace will sublimate our thinking,
At the end of the day when we retire to our bed.
