Giving your all
gets a little bit harder,
the more that you give
the more that’s required.

Breaking a sweat
has become the new normal,
the treadmill won’t stop
until you’re retired.

You gave it your all
and they asked for some more,
so you put in the work,
until you are spent.

Now ten’s not enough
and it’s crunch time again.
You’re giving your all:
All one-twenty-percent.

A passing comment at work became a poem about going above and beyond the ‘above and beyond’.
