MY SECRET

MY SECRET 

Sprinkle my path with pretty leaves and flowers.
I want to look at water and not towers.
Some color to brighten my day.
A place where the birds come to play.

I will walk to the end of the pier.
I’ll gaze into the depths without fear.
For I will only see fish swimming by.
And not any monsters lurking nearby.

Time will pass slowly and must be savored.
Whoever comes this way will be favored.
I think it’s only prudent and fair
To share my secret with those who care.

SLOW DOWN YOU MOVE TOO FAST

Life moves too fast.
People rushing back and forth.
Where are they going?
Do they ever reach their destinations?
Rushing and rushing everyday.
Everything becomes a blur.
The faces and lights flash by too quickly.
Stop!
I need to breathe!
What happened to living and enjoying life?
When does that happen?
After we’re dead and buried.
Then we slow down to a stand still.

A LONG ROAD

We walk a long road.
A road we must follow.
No one can alter it but us.
We can move forward or back.
We can move fast or slow.
The choice is up to us.

SLOW DOWN

Does it feel like life is passing us by too fast?
Too fast for us to get off the ride.
We need the time to smell the roses.
Time to appreciate our limited time on earth.
Slow down!

ENJOY THE BEAUTY

I WANT TO BE HERE.
WHEREVER THIS IS,
THAT’S WHERE I WANT TO BE.
WHERE LIFE IS SLOW.
NO HURRY, NO RUSHING.
TIME TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY.

IF TIME STOOD STILL

What if time stood still?
We wouldn’t get older.
We would look the same forever.
Would we be bored with life after awhile?
Would be less in a hurry to get things accomplished?
There would be no reason to do things right away.
We would just put off what we could do today for tomorrow.
Then tomorrow, we would procrastinate for the next day.
Let the clock move ahead.
It would be awful to be stuck in time.

WORK OF ART

WORK OF ART

amischiefofmice:

The snails are gorgeous.
They are a work of art—a work of nature.
Nature has given them the perfect colors
for camouflage.
I could sit a whole day and watch them.
It’s important to take time to enjoy nature
and its beautiful creations.

SLOW AND EASY

Somethings should be taken slow.
Slow and easy,
Drop by drop,
To be able to truly enjoy.
