Why so busy to live,
Why so tired to enjoy.
Why so mindful of the conventions.
Why so worried about the upcoming,
Why so hooked up at the past.
Why not to live in here and now.
So lets go out-
See the sun setting,
The moon rising.
Lets feel the cool breeze on our face.
Lets take a moment to stop
And look at the lovely flower,
Or smell the freshly mown grass.
Or enjoy the fragrance of Earth after the first rain.
Lets take a moment to see
the kids playing, a mother fussing,
babies laughing
friends smiling,
birds singing, animals dancing,
Flowers blossoming.
Lets take a moment to admire the life around us;
And consider ourselves fortunate to be a part of this beautiful magical world…
