the choice

Don’t keep on running

Or life will pass you by

And you will just be left

To sit, mope, and cry

Don’t keep on running

Stop to see the sky

Stop to see the flowers

And the mountains high

Don’t just keep on running

Watch the kids at play

Learn from them the joy

Of living day by day

Don’t keep on running

You’ll tire yourself out

But do walk to keep fit

That helps, there is no doubt

So pace yourself and see

How pleasant life can be

Do give yourself a chance

To live, to smile, to dance
