Take Time Out To Smell the Flowers!

Take time out to smell the flowers,
Breathe deeply of their heavenly scent,
Take a swig of their ambrosial nectar,
Drink deep of their palette of colours
And arouse your kinesthetic sense.

All around you is a garden of flowers,
Take time out to bask in their glory,
Laugh with the joy of living,
Just think how comic it is,
And every moment tell it's story!

Think you that the world is "I"-Centric?
Without you the system would fail?
You're wrong, if that be your surmise.
Take time out to smell the flowers,
For, without you, the ship will still sail!
