We Are Focused

Your life goes by you as you turn your eyes 
Looking down a highway to both sides
You step out in front of you and turn to the right 
Walking down the highway you begin your life

You walk past many things on this walk
Most of which you will not remember 
We miss most things because we talk 
Yet later wonder how they were

Most things in life we'll never acknowledge 
And we'll never care to know 
But it's the smallest things in life
We skip that we all need to grow

So often with flowers we miss their bloom
And it costs us in the end
Because we fail to take from it
Flowers grow because they bend  

In this I want to encourage you to look to the left and right 
Because although the horizon's beautiful 
The flowers next to you are bright
