We all need respite from our daily routine
A time to ourselves to unwind
We need to replenish our souls and hearts
To let go of the stress of the daily grind
We know that respite is essential
We talk incessantly about taking a break
But we push aside our need to rest
We go back to work for responsibility’s sake
Somewhere along the road of life
We learned that hard work is the key to success
But there is another lesson we sometimes fail to grasp
All work and no play can bring a life of distress
Do not deny yourself respite
Make it a part of your daily life
It will recharge your mind as well as your spirit
And put an end to your anxiety and strife
