We Must Now Get That Roof Up

Move faster do not tarry the words the worker hears we must now get that roof up before the coming snow Work faster do not tarry the winter storms here work faster in the rafters work faster in the stores work faster do not linger no laughter on these floors you are not here to muck around your lingering deplored Sometimes, we move to fast in life don't take the time to see the beauty that surrounds us with natures loving seeds we walk so fast past gardens and do not see the rose We walk in haste past rivers we can not smell the breeze Sometimes we eat our food too fast and miss the joy of taste sometimes we run and can not see the silence and the fun Sometimes we miss the birds in flight the colours and the sounds wrapped in thoughts of lovers plight we miss what love abounds Take the time to listen take the time to care Perhaps you might enjoy today A little slower dear
