Poem
(Free Verse) Take time to see around you So much that we take for granted We all miss those little things Which mean much more in life We blindly make our way sometimes Not knowing where we are Not knowing for sure how or when to stop Or what at the end of the rainbow waits for us Most of the time the world seems, For us such a confusing and lonely place We want so much more all the time Than what in the present we might have Things come and go with the speed of time Rushing and groaning the days are drifting by Adept the fingers of time never pause for a moment In time leafing continual pages of joys and of…sorrows We should learn to stop for a moment From our very busy lives and take a look around And really see what we might be missing all the time Everyday of our lives when we're in pursue of other things We should learn to stop for a moment And really smell the roses that are paved in our way To stop for a moment and appreciate everybody That God had given us to love and care everyday The world spins around and never stops, For you and me things may not be always right Always something missing always something lacking Out of life, in the distance we hear the peals of laughs Smiles leave reflections clamoring for much more Much more than what we perceive and seek Chained up by days and more days We follow right behind scratching for more air But the world never stops for you and me It will never stop for you and me And never had stopped before for no one And you know very well that it will never will So make the best of what you now have Breathe deep and never stop dreaming Because dreams have a way of coming true If you persist and never give up and be true to yourself.
