Just For a Moment

Stop the world,things move too fast While trying to make the good things last Precious moments they slip on by Please slow it down I try I try Just for a moment Let the world stay the same I am tired of this rat race game I just want time to think and breathe Inhale exhale Then relieve The world is in a hurried rush We lose ourselves Fall out of touch The simple things have come and gone Just for a moment, from this moment on Just for a lifetime How long will that be It isn’t up to you or me So take each as if it were the last And slow it down Don’t move too fast As we walk this road together Around each winding turn I will hold your hand forever For the eternity that I yearn Just for a moment When your heart is in my hands A loving smile remembers This loving soul understands

You really do have a way with words! this is great advice, but it doesn't come off as preachy. I really like how you speed up and slow down the poem as you go, as it relates to what you're saying. very clever :)

Often 'tis those singular moments in life that make all the difference, and you're absolutely right, it's good to just slow down. Well done.
