Sometimes we work 
 so hard
 we feel exhausted.
  How many times 
 have I heard 
 or even said
 I need a nap.
  Sometimes we are so busy
 we think we are tired
 but perhaps we should be asking
 where is the joy
  Where is the time
 in the midst of it all 
 that we stop and 
 do something which energizes us, 
 and brings us joy.
  In the midst of 
 the busyness
 may we remember 
 what brings us joy, 
 what energizes us
 what makes us feel
 as if we have napped.
