Don'T Get Too Busy

There are times in our lives
when we get caught up in the
Busyness of the day and some
Things we mean to do get pushed 
out of the way

But that's no excuse when 
feelings get hurt
 The busyness of life should
Never come first

You see I speak from experience

I've gotten busy with the
 Busyness of life hurt someone dear
And brought about to strife 

 We don't mean to do it
It just happens that way
And if we don't catch it
The cords of family and friendship
Start to fray

 Don't be like me don't get too busy
Nothing is more important than
Family and friends
If you slow down now and get 
focused Again 
In time the frayed cords
of family and friendship will mend
