Life Cant Be Lived In A Hurry

Have you ever noticed the rainbow fading in the sky
Have you ever noticed a mother’s touch stopping a child’s cry
Have you ever caught the reflective raindrops in your palm
Have you ever seen the sky waking in the pre-dawn calm
The beauty of a butterfly did you view in your worry
Stop, take a breath, life can’t be lived in a hurry

Have you ever run with children as they play
Have you ever felt the breeze when a bird flies away
Have you ever teased the grass beneath your feet
Have you ever watched the pavement shimmering in the heat
Have you ever lost yourself in the imaginary
Stop, take a breath, life can’t be lived in a hurry

Did you discern the smile when you were kind
In crossing everyday sunsets did any beauty you find
In touching a flower did you feel the life
In seeing a tree did you sense the strife
There is more in this universe than what you like to see
Stop, take a breath, life can’t be lived in a hurry
