Day to day and year after year
On and on you tread without fear
Rest is but a distant dream
On and on churning milk to cream
Once in a while you stop and stare
Time and again hoping a soul would care
Wishful thinking is all you've got
Reality then hits you in that painful spot
A day will come or so you think
When life’s troubles would suddenly shrink
You’ll toil and toil for that fateful day
Keeping your wishes and desires at bay
On that day you’ll live for yourself
Eat, drink, love and indulge in self
Not that anyone’s tied your hands per se
High standards you set from day to day
Now you ask what’s this all about
Independent your soul screams out and shouts
Duty you fulfill no questions asked
Why be bothered about the past
Rewarded you’ll be for conquered dreams
Does it matter now or oddly seem,
Were they yours or ever will be?
Fulfilled duties or wishes set free
It doesn't matter now for you've gone too far
Moving on and forever raising the bar
A day will come surpassed the goals you’ll be
Wondering what day you lived for thee!
