Ode to a Timer

  My timer is awesome!  When my time, like a wild beast tries to runaway, my timer helps to keep it.  Sometimes, a task seems so large I fear I shall never finish.  My timer shows me that I can at least do fifteen minutes.  And if this time is not sufficient, I will try again tomorrow and the next day until it is complete.   My timer allows me to spend a little time on the unimportant and free time up for what is necessary.  So at the end of the day when I lay my head down, I know I may not have done all, but I have done what I could.  My home is improving fifteen minutes at a time.
