Friday – ‘Cometh The Hour’

An aphorism for each day, keeps the doctor away. Each day this week I am offering a common aphorism, just slightly embellished – for good or ill.

 

 

Cometh the hour, cometh the man;

I hope he’s waiting in the wings.

Our world most surely needs him now,

Someone who love and wellness brings.

 

Thursday – ‘Loved And Lost’

‘Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all;

Believe that if you will, my dears,

For me, I try to tell myself,

Better that I count the cost

Of all those ties which brought me tears.

Wednesday – ‘Nothing Ventured’

 

Nothing ventured – nothing gained,

Let that be our guiding thought;

Don’t by worries be constrained,

Nor let our dreams all come to nought;

We’ve had enough of being restrained.

 

Tuesday – ‘Take A Breather’

Take a breather,

Sit down – relax;

Consider your life,

Weigh up your options,

 

Take a breather,

Cover your tracks.

Plan ahead,

No wild concoctions.

Monday – ‘Carpe Diem’

 

Seize the day,

But only gently,

Lest it barks and bites you back.

Seize the day,

But consequently,

Do not of your goal lose track.
