Watching As Life Goes By

Watching as Life Goes By By Dane A. Smith-Johnsen The Interstate Traffic, Composed of many folks, Landscapes very graphic In sun or when rain soaks. People on vacation Or driving fast to work Going to the ocean Sunbathing is the perk. Don’t forget to mention The meetings meant to sell. Leaving for conventions. To learn how to do well-- Children visit mothers. And reminisce for fun. Young sisters and brothers Are quickly on the run. Going here, going there Doing this, doing that. Maybe to a state fair To judge a hog that's fat. Birthdays, weddings, parties! Gone shopping very fast. As busy as a bee, Too long, such rushing lasts! Meanwhile, cows in pastures. Watch many cars go by. Partaking nature lures. Greeting the bright blue sky. Likewise in the woodlands, With the Interstate nigh- Watching, I hold God's hand. With peace, while life goes by.
