Watching As Life Goes By
Watching as Life Goes By
By Dane A. Smith-Johnsen
The Interstate Traffic,
Composed of many folks,
Landscapes very graphic
In sun or when rain soaks.
People on vacation
Or driving fast to work
Going to the ocean
Sunbathing is the perk.
Don’t forget to mention
The meetings meant to sell.
Leaving for conventions.
To learn how to do well--
Children visit mothers.
And reminisce for fun.
Young sisters and brothers
Are quickly on the run.
Going here, going there
Doing this, doing that.
Maybe to a state fair
To judge a hog that's fat.
Birthdays, weddings, parties!
Gone shopping very fast.
As busy as a bee,
Too long, such rushing lasts!
Meanwhile, cows in pastures.
Watch many cars go by.
Partaking nature lures.
Greeting the bright blue sky.
Likewise in the woodlands,
With the Interstate nigh-
Watching, I hold God's hand.
With peace, while life goes by.
