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
