In a Jar that Makes Up My Day

In a jar that makes up my day
Before I add the sands of time
I must put in some rocks to stay
Lest I forget that they are mine

The first is the most important rock
It is personal and family prayer
As with Heavenly Father I talk
And seek His influence and care

The next to enter are hugs and kisses
And they fill the whole bottom up
These are that best life promises
As we are all in need of love

The next is work and it is truly huge
And reaches nearly the top
And beyond that amount, I refuse
For there comes a time that I must stop

The next is a list of things to do
And the heaviest always goes in first
If I don't get to it, I put it in anew
But it may cause tomorrow to burst!
