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
