Tiling your life wall

Daily life is like tiling a bathroom wall

It goes better when you plan ahead

It will probably get messed up if you stumble blindly through it

Each new tile is like an hour in your day

Think ahead before you use it

Take care to make it fit well with the one before

Then the following one will go smoothly

Pause at the end of each day to look back

Be proud of the tiles put up in your life

Cherish the moments that went well

Let that tile on the wall be symbol of your efforts

Serving as a memory of how well you spent that hour

If you messed up be honest with yourself

Buy some more tiles and start over

The more tiles you lay the better you will be at tiling

When you have finished tiling your bathroom wall

It does not mean your time is up

There will be more hours in the day tomorrow

And more challenges to fill your time

It does not matter if you cannot lay tiles

Everybody is talented at something

You might be a fine cook or a fabulous artist

Perhaps an athlete or a great storyteller

Or just a really nice kind person

Who helps others tile their life wall
