Mike Roberts Poet Villanelle

Go Slowly

Go slowly, my friend, and enjoy the ride
Don't rush through life with haste and stress
There's beauty and wonder on every side

You have a precious gift of time to guide
Your choices, actions, and happiness
Go slowly, my friend, and enjoy the ride

You have a curious mind to confide
Your questions, doubts, and interests
There's beauty and wonder on every side

You have a loving heart to provide
Your kindness, compassion, and tenderness
Go slowly, my friend, and enjoy the ride

You have a brave soul to decide
Your dreams, goals, and success
There's beauty and wonder on every side

You have a unique self to abide
Your values, beliefs, and express
Go slowly, my friend, and enjoy the ride
There's beauty and wonder on every side
