Smell the roses

When you’re in an awful hurry and haven’t time to spare
And everything’s a worry you’re rushing here and there
While all the jobs are piling up, there’s dishes in the sink
You haven’t time to wash a cup, you haven’t time to think
Stop... and smell...

Slow Down, Smell the Roses
Whoa! Friends, slow down a bit, smell the roses
And appreciate your situations.
We can’t lose sight what’s under our noses
If we do, we invite our frustrations.
Who needs that god-awful discouragement?
Not you or me, so look for the flowers,
They are there. Look around, follow the scent 
But...

To Smell the Roses
‘Twas an ordinary day in an ordinary park
When an old woman cam up to me
She said “Lend me your ear and I’ll show you the future
For only a very small fee”

So I gave her a dollar and a tentative smile
As a liquor flask peered through...

(Free Verse) 


Take time to see around you 
So much that we take for granted 
We all miss those little things 
Which mean much more in life 

We blindly make our way sometimes 
Not knowing where we are 
Not knowing for sure how or ...

My heart is like a desert,come and make it a forest
Loneliness is an insurmountable pain my heart is falling give it a cane
To think to be alone means being insane
From now my heart will never ever be the same

Smell the Roses
Life is too short
To write testaments of pain
Upon your beautiful face.
Find love while the sun shines
So you may blossom in warmth
When the night finally knows your name.

Life is too short
To see a soldier and smell war
When deep in his eyes
Lies veins of patriotism and sacrifice.
Learn...

Smell the Roses
Be Bop Bop, Hey!
The bongos sound hollow today

Burned out is me
Countless years of intensity

Toasted to black 
Headed for a real heart attack

Never thinking this possible
To a man invincible

Stop to smell the roses they say
Nope, they're just hay

Woke up a couple weeks ago
Thought I had died
And
The...

I'Ll Still Smell the Roses
i'll still smell the roses
so precious and sweet
the scented pine needles
as they hang from the trees

i'll still hear the lonely hounds
at night as they bay
see the sky far above me
be it blue or at times gray

then someone someday
will mention your name
and i'll feel regret in...

Wake Up and Smell the Roses
Surely of you the Lord is aware in so knowing the name of every star
Surely about you the Lord does care it's not a matter of what you are
Creating Heaven and Earth and every single thing that's in between
From your creation to birth it's sad...
