Hurry Not, Worry Not

Hurry not, tarry not, worry not For life yours to live, yours to squander If you slot the wrong plot Swimming with a groggy gander To plunder the best resources life offers In the best years you enjoy Banking and investing in companionship coffers Bereft of joy Too little to warrant any recognition In social circles, spiritual spiracles That set in motion the ignition That with mischief dismiss pinnacles You previously reached in style Without nurturing a grudge Against the guile Galumphing in a sentiment sludge Ranged against your move to offer an olive branch To opponents who feel Your attitude to consume brunch When you muster more care than steel To awaken feelings and ceilings In a swathe of hope Meant to caress and bless dealings Summersaulting and halting the sentiment slope From rising too steep Erasing opportunities to hold hands As you keep your promise to peep Into blessing bands, lands and stands That suggest you reconcile With opponents who argue your kindness Can’t file fickle feelings and domicile Moves towards sharing and spreading for all concerned doses of deserved happiness.
