Live your life

Have you ever laid back and watched the clouds go by?
Or listen to the pitter patter of a child's bare feet running around the house?
Have you taken the time to think about life?
Or do you run through every day with haste?
Slow down, don't rush through life
Have you ever just sat on a bench and watch people go about their lives?
Watched a whole bunch of fish swim and wonder if they like their life?
Or watch little kids faces light up when their parents show up to pick them up from school?
Slow down, what are you hurrying for?
Ever just painted a picture just for the hell of it?
Or picked apart a flower saying "she loves me, she loves me not?"
Or just sat with a friend because they needed someone to be with?
Have you just wondered what life could have been like if you did something different?
Slow down
Have you said "hi, how are you" and not wait for the answer?
Said no to a friend because you were too busy when they needed you the most?
Or crushed a child by breaking a small promise to take them somewhere special,
Without knowing you had disappointed them?
Slow down, breathe life.. you can only live it once
Have you ever just danced in the rain or climbed a tree?
Have you felt so free that you could float on air?
Or kissed someone you love and wish you could never let go?
Ever chase a butterfly just to see where it is going?
Got up early in the morning just to see the sun rise?
Or laughed with friends and take a road trip?
Slow down, live your life. Don't rush it.
Stop missing out on the great things in life.
Children are the face of nature,
Life has so much to offer,
don't live through each day with clutter filling your head.
Get out there, slow down and take in the scenery
Hold a child's hand and play hopscotch or go to the zoo.
Do anything adventurous once in a while,
Experience life, don't fight it.
Just live.
