Lickety Split

Like Speedy Gonzales
Instead of walking through life.. he is
Causing havoc with his racing around.
Knocking everything to the ground.
Each one of us have done this
Trying to be top of whatever we do
Yet we don’t realise, we are hurting you

Slow down my friends ..love life 
Perceive nature, don’t cause yourself strife
Look at the flowers… the fields the clouds in the sky
Instead of closing your eyes and rushing by
Time waits for no man take pleasure in yours
