Slow Down!
It seems that no one takes his or her time anymore,
as if they are always in a race.
Too bad, they will never appreciate the finer things
if they do not slow down their pace.
Life is hard enough without trying to win
so stop and take time for yourself today.
You will then realize that the true competitor
was you all along, defeated anyway.
So remember the next time you try to rush through
that no one, against you, will run.
Your life will be better, with time better spent,
as you will have time for some fun!
