Poem Title:
Poem
A little piece on reflections, and the quality of life... A direct response to a nice popular article online... Extolling prudence in the frantic pursuit of wealth.. Advocating timely respite to savour life's delights... A timely reminder to all those hardworking parents.. Questioning the wisdom in letting our best years be barren... Amassing huge wealth and assets for our loved ones ... Most of us are caught in this endless pursuit of wealth.. We should question this blinkered vision of leaving so much... Just for our children when soon depart from this world we must... Working to the bone endlessly for all things better and bigger... Just so we keep up and even do better than our rich neighbours.. To borrow a phrase, when will we actually wise up finally instead.... Do we let up only in sickness, from cancer or enlarged prostates... All be aware, all be wise, life's delights are to be savoured.. Even as we prosper given the diligence with our working vigour... Take time to smell the roses by the roadside and take in nature's wonders.. Doing so enrich our lives and our memories of a rich life lingers... For in truth, all that material wealth is but fleeting in time... We all need to be wise enough to balance our worklife in time... So, take frequent breathers, draw anew fresh new air.. Work you must, provide all you can but learn to take care... Your time on this earth is just but a brief passage in time.. Hope this little reminder helps you out in calling time... Less the frantic chase for assets and wealth that's material... Take time off, nuture good health to savor the fruits of your labor...
