Slowdown Your Pace
Hey youngster, where do you scurry?
Why are you in such frivolous hurry?
Slow down your pace to look around
And enjoy the marvels that surround.
Aimless you wander far and wide
And seldom bother to look inside.
Ever be content with what you have
Though denied much of what you crave.
The gift of youth is a wondrous thing
Before aches and pains the onset of age bring,
Feast on the glories, God has set
In goblets filled for man to taste.
Fill your heart with the elixir of love
Champion the cause of peace as your vow
Act in the Present and look up with hope
For it's the magic that fills up every cup
Wipe a tear and bring some cheer
That sure will leave you truly dear
Make the weary feel that you care
And lighten the burden that they bear.
A glow of warmth when borne on your face
Adds so much more to your innate grace
So light up your face with radiant smiles
And let your laughter ring down the aisles.
Nothing lasts ever, it's wise to learn
So why go crazy for so much to earn?
Worldly gains may add up to your fame
But such transient things, your soul may defame!
Happiness resides nowhere but inside
Be vexed or relaxed is up to you to decide
Turn the commonest fare in to a royal banquet
And let little things bring joy and delight!
Rejoice in Life and Nature's bounteous source
Never let passing trifles be your course
Humble yourself and kneel down to pray
For it is God who shows us the way
With all disease and deceit, it's still a beauteous world
And never ever see it as a desert bald!
So slow down your pace to look around
And enjoy the marvels that surround!
