Stop And Smell The Roses Poems

Being afraid for something you do not know
Is like honouring a promise that was never made
Being excited for someone else good fortune
Is like cheering, sitting on the bench

Start, stop and smell the roses
Introspection is not for the faint hearted
Moving on...Read More

If we knew today was our last day…
If we knew tomorrow was the end of our bloom
what would we do
how would we act
what would we say…
and to whom?

Would we sprinkle words of love a little freer
before we pass this way
Would...Read More

Madly rushing to end the year
All activities running in the 5th gear
Calls to stop and smell the roses can't hear
Desperately reaching for the new year 

A new year, a new start, fresh resolutions
As if a new year will turn your...Read More

A moment of promise comes 
to those who take time
to stop and smell the roses

Heard is this old phrase
once or twice, but still
a promising thought

Petals fragrant and soft
of pure hues delights those
who pursue its delicate form

The rose is full of...Read More

Imagine the sound of bright buzzing bees,
And ripe juicy apples planted on trees.
Imagine the sight of the birds that fly,
Or the airplanes that soar through the sky.
Imagine the fish that swim through the ocean,
And the brown, fuzzy squirrels that cause...Read More

Bird in a guilded cage, a broken heart, a solitary soul
Road less travelled, a soul full of longing, my heart bleeds
On a wing and a prayer, my heart is a lonely hunter, a weary soul

Stop
Sign
Red light Green light
Stop running by the pool
Stop annoying your siblings
Stop picking your nose
Stop Drop and Roll
Stop talking in class
Stop making out behind the gym
Stop mashing your zits
Stop going so fast
Stop staying out so late
Stop!
there's a cop
Stop underage drinking
Stop having...Read More

God gave us a gift 
this blue marble we call Earth, 
He had a divine plan 
during the Universe's birth. 

He scattered the stars 
throughout the galaxy, 
His paintbrush was never put down 
He was thinking of you and me....Read More

Have you ever had your breath taken away?

A moment where nothing else seemed to matter?

When the earth stopped revolving and your heart began spinning out of control?

Have you ever stood still and wondered why the others kept moving?

They were caught...Read More

I hear the children laugh and wish I was that care free
If only there was some way I could see what they see

There is always a solution to the problems...Read More

Speeding along life's highway
With the scenery flashing by
Must stop and smell the roses
There's more than meets the eye

We miss the tiny intricacies 
Subtleties that mean so much
Life's delightful wee treasures
The warmth of a babies touch

A gentle breeze at daybreak
Welcoming a...Read More

Stop and smell the roses
God gives us to enjoy
The symbol of his love to us
His mercy, peace and joy

A white one, oh, so beautiful
A saviour white as snow
A spotless, shameless, beautiful Lamb
Jesus loves me, this I know

And there's a pretty...Read More

I sit calmly in the state of shock, disgusted by my generation.

Precious life that so many struggle to have, kicked aside like a soccer ball.

Abusing the temple of our body.

We the youth, blinded by stardom and greatness, not stopping to...Read More

I wear my heart on my sleeve

You’re here with me and I hope you never leave

My fondness for you there is no doubt

I speak sweet nothings in your ear

As everyday is different as i walk 
the lands to me that are unknown.

Our bodies and life depends on this life staple.
We continue in being un-rational, we are un-capable.
Rational thinking should be our way.
Listen to me, listen to what I say!

This planet has punched and lurched in groaning agony.
Cause we continue to pollute...Read More

Chill Out

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
Like dishes in the sink
You haven’t time to wash a cup
You haven’t time to think

Stop... and smell...Read More

On a train going south on business
For what seemed an eternity,
I chanced upon a memorable man
Who changed the path of my destiny

He was itinerant to look at
With tatty coat and shabby shoes,
An unshaven face, his hair unkempt
And string, as a...Read More

When people say that life is so short,...Read More
