Slow Down

we all just forget 
to slow ourselves down
to stop and look at all the 
life thats around.
the trees they breathe
just like you and me
and their beauty forever grows
just like the sea
when the wind blows just take a second to listen
because it whispers, just like an old friend.
when night falls the stars twinkle,
like diamonds up so high,
and lightning bugs zip right on by! 
drawing on the dark night sky.
we all just forget 
to slow ourselves down
to stop and look at all the 
life thats around
