We Should Have Slowed Down

In the beginning
In the end
From the past
Into tomorrow

 

Oceans
Fields
Flowers
Sun, moon, stars
Running barefoot
Fireflies

 

Children\'s laughter
A mother\'s smile
A father\'s embrace
Band-Aids and scraped knees

 

Breathe in
Breathe out

 

And it\'s gone
Just as fast

 

We should have slowed down
