Time and Place - Life Is Not a Race

There is a time and a place We can meet face to face But until that is true I can't fall in love with you As you might not fancy me at all As I am not very tall And my little legs are no contest Once you see a big chest With inked tattoos On the arms That will play to your charms So I will wait until tomorrow For you my love to follow As there is a time and a pace For us to find our own place As after all life is not a race?

Indeed life is no race! Sometimes I see folks as gerbils on those little wheels going nowhere with the tepid excuse. " we'll, at least I am doing something" Chill out, gerbils! Life is no race. The right person practically falls in your lap! Panagiota
