Glaring Lights

Time gives to none

rapidly moving on.

 

Hurry up! We must go fast.

No one ever wants to be last.

 

We fuss at red lights

and fail to yield at yellow.

The one before us

is the lucky fellow.

 

Day is born

with the sound of a horn.

 

We rush and rush

No one walks

they always run

Forgetting that in life

We should have some fun.

 

Plant a flower

and watch it grow.

Fly a kite

Smile at a rainbow.

Always say thank you

And pause before you go.

So true. We don't seem to have time to smell the roses. We are in such a rush to get no where.
Good poem.

Plant a flower

and watch it grow.

Fly a kite

Smile at a rainbow.

Always say thank you

And pause before you go.
