CALM By ... Steve Lucky

                 CALM
          By ... Steve Lucky

When facing the tasks I set out to do,
I try to keep calmness in my mind and heart.
If I feel like stress is tearing me apart,
By remaining calm I manage to get through.
Calmness gives me a better view.
For a life long task or a single stray cart,
I can treat it like a work of art
And make even the oldest things feel like new.
Panicking normally causes trouble.
Any task can be accomplished better
Faced in a calm and rational manner.
Without more effort my effort seems to double,
If I carry the task out to the letter.
In this way I can be a better planner.
