Pressure gauges Play an important role in construction There is a safe range from Just above too little to Just below too much Pipes are at the mercy Of whatever or whoever Is applying the pressure Too much And they will break apart
“Applied pressure” Reminds me of life Sometimes the pressure is from An external source or event Outside our control Sometimes the pressure is from Internal thoughts or goals Isn’t it great that unlike pipes We can choose To adjust the pressure ourselves Before we are broken
Monday horse You tried to throw me off First thing this morning Right out of the gate With an unexpected issue That had me running super late By lunch I had rallied Was still hangin’ on But you continued tossing and Tumbling me with various Construction challenges All throughout the afternoon By email, text and phone Two feet in the stirrups And one hand on the horn I managed to hang on And made it through the day Feeling tossed and torn As I pulled into my driveway I was thinking it’s almost over Then I remembered It’s day one Of ninety On my new fitness plan So I grabbed the reins a little tighter As up to my home gym I ran When the timer bell finally rang At the end of my exercise I thought to myself Monday horse You sure gave me One helluva long Eight second ride
