Analysis of Wasted Days
I always wait; procrastinate.
It happens all the time.
I seldom do and follow through
My plans, an uphill climb.
When will concern help me to learn
That timeliness is good?
I must try hard to be on guard
And do the things I should.
Therefore, when I begin to try
To finish; not lose heart
I won't delay and waste the day
Tomorrow when I start!
