Time is one of the best gifts we can offer to someone and also to ourselves.
It is one of the things in this life, we can never have control to. We can not stop. Just it will go, on and on. .. on and on. Hence, we all encouraged to make each time if possible, meaningful and fruitful may it be for someone else or for our ownself. Day to day we are facing situations where we need prioritize and allot some time to excel, do better in situations. Whatever we will do now will affect us, maybe not instant though but who knows when? so when, it will struck us, are we ready?
D O I T S L O W E R
Have you ever stopped and watched how kids laugh on a carousel?
Or for few minutes you listen to the pounds and thumps of rain?
Have you ever followed a butterfly fluttering by?
Or stare at the sun painting red and orange bright?
Daily you put the alarm-- so conscious of time.
You want everything to be done on second hand;
you run as if each day on the fly.
When someone asked you: "How are you?"
Did you ever care to reply, asking back the same?
Your wife and kids ask you for a time
yet, most of the time all you said is wait for awhile.
The night skirts it's dark starry skies,
instead of going home, you chose to work for more.
When you are done and it's time to sleep,
still... there are hundred chores running round your head.
One Sunday morning, your child wanted a talk--
but your phone rang, you wave a hand and say tomorrow.
You are so haste to leave,
you didn't see his brow break to sorrow...
You lost the touch
even a good friendship die right before your eyes
'Cause you never had time to call and say "Hi"!
When will you realize quality time is a must?
Don't you know
when you dance fast on life's music
you are missing much?
Time is short and so is life
All music comes to an end, it doesn't last
When you see life like a race
you will miss half of the fun in each phase.
Worrying and hurrying through the day
is like disclosing some gifts along each way.
Life is never a race, do take it slower...
