Poem
Dear friend, let us pause a while and live Is preparation so paramount That the competition can be foregone And yet, another fills the gap Dear friend, let us pause a while and dance Now that the muscles do concur And the heart leap We have seen Ali stagger Outside of the ring Dear friend, let us pause a while and listen Sometimes words are not enough They twist more than they untie Let's speak to the soul through silence and action The world is full of activities Even those with entertaining Facebook updates Glittering photos on Instagram Record breaking followers on twitter Are within lonely Some needs are unseen They must be quenched from within Dear friend, Let us pause a while and relate Most hearts are bleeding Oh! Not of heart breaks That's a better disease Than, void and emptiness Yes, even God detests vacuo That he made the world to fill it Dear friend, let us pause a while and think Shall we not one day leave What then shall remain of us If not the relics of our existence The prints of our touches Given a thought to what yours would be? Dearest, let us pause a while and teach Teach the young to love And the old to tolerate Teach the youth patience In Foruma1, the fastest doesn't always win Let us pause a while and love Even love tames the wild That it responds to direction How much more a man No one is made of steel or stone We are all flesh and blood Touch a heart today Share your life today Why wait, there is enough time In the serenity of the grave
