Rushing Through Life
We all rush through life in a great hurry.
Every new corner turned adds more worry.
We think we have all of this time to press,
Over-scheduling things and over-loading with stress.
Walking through crowded corridors with a push and a shove.
Not taking time to notice someone that we love.
Quickly grabbing a doughnut, candy bar or coke.
Passing by a friend as they’ve started to choke.
Taking anti-depressants to make us happy.
Popping other pills that make us feel crappy.
Making money holds our sole devotion.
Forget about great trees and the blue ocean.
Everyone reaching for prestige and power.
How many truly stop to smell a flower?
