We Should Have Slowed Down

A.N.

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

    Time runs fast and before one knows it life is past. We should not have run so fast. Very nicely done the is a sense of rapid pace in this write that fulfills the message.

      Thank you so much! I'm really glad the pacing came through and helped convey the message.
