To the Young Visionaries

Even though what we do is all in all
Our every sleeping, waking moment of,
Beware — we may bring on our own sure fall
By hyperfocusing on what we love

Although our work and pleasure are the same,
Even though we think on it constantly,
No occupation anyone can name
Ought be pursued in exclusivity

Take time to recreate, take time to rest
Take time to wander, wonder and to play
In order to create your very best
Tomorrow also, as you do today

A balanced being must each of us know
So we continue usefully to go
