Oh, my tired sisters and brothers
I know.
Each and every step and gesture
has hidden lead weights attached
and everything lifted now hurts
You are allowed the involuntary grunt
or voluntary tear as you stand,
all eyes and ears are itchy with
tired
There is still a smile allowed
as long as we keep an end in sight
