Slow Down

teddybear55 on Sep 1, 2009

A poem about lilfe moving around us to fast.

Life goes by

toooo swiftly

sometimes it seems

I can’t catch up.

everyone keeps passing

rushing helter-skelter

never taking the time

to enjoy the NOW!

and I find myself

not wanting to catch up

to just live simply

going my own pace

not wanting to be

left behind

yet, not wanting

to move tooo quickly

sometimes it is good

to just be still

to take the time

and LISTEN!

what will we hear?

why rush when you can take your time, so what if you get left behind, you will learn more, good reading.

Sometimes the “hear” and now isn’t suitable. Good question asked in your poem. We’re not satisfied where we are sometimes. That’s why we move quickly to a “better” place. It’s not here on earth.
