Take it easy
Say good morning to the sun
Delight in the wonders of a day
Behold the last sunray
Greet the solitary old man
Sitting on a creaking bench
Tracing alleys of his past
Keep the peace, avoid all strife
Be forever grateful
For the precious gift of life
Take it easy
Sing a love song with a bird
Smell the scent rising to the sky
Dream that you are a butterfly
Stop chasing ephemeral and vain
Get off the speeding train
Going to a station called nowhere
Keep the peace, avoid all strife
Be forever grateful
For the precious gift of life
Take it easy
Smile to a tired mother
As if you were her friend
Show that you truly understand
Wave to a weeping child
Help her walk with pride
Hug the yearning child you have inside
Keep the peace, avoid all strife
Be forever grateful
For the precious gift of life
Take it easy
Go for a long walk deep in the woods
Listen to the silence of the universe
Learn nature’s language to converse
Stand still, of earth revere
The beauty and the grace
Of the forest absorb healing embrace
Keep the peace, avoid all strife
Be forever grateful
For the precious gift of life
Take it easy
Sit silently by a stream
Listen to the rhythm of your heart
Become enraptured in a dream
Don’t fret, do not regret
Just let it be, learn to let go
Love is all there is to know
Keep the peace, avoid all strife
Be forever grateful
For the precious gift of life

Take time to smell the roses. One can not be a poet if one does not open one's eyes. In a world of fast food, rush and hurry we have lost the pleasure of taking one's time where factories mass produce plastic and pressboard where is the craftmanship of solid wood, of hand crafted pottery, crochet doilies and whittled flutes. I hear the message and it is a fave
A lovely write with important advice to stop running at speed and take some time to just chill and enjoy life, enjoyed the read
