Rushing here and rushing there, men in a hurry to get just where? <br />Racing down the highway of life, creating on the roads such strife. <br />When arriving at their destination, what then is their consolation? <br />Only more racing through the day, and more grief along the way. <br /> <br />Each day begins a hectic pace, appearing to grip the human race, <br />Men never stop to take a breath; before long they’re facing death. <br />Many lives simply go too fast, pursuing things that just won’t last. <br />Is there maybe a better way, to begin and end each passing day? <br /> <br />What matters when all is done; isn’t life more than work and fun? <br />Is there not a deeper meaning, to give purpose to our very being? <br />Seemingly facing death after birth, when living life upon this earth, <br />Is there something better friend, when our lives come to the end? <br /> <br />If you could only slow your pace, you could then join another race, <br />You could join the race with Christ, a race that ends in Eternal Life. <br />Slowing down to hear God’s voice, can be for you another choice, <br />Just take the time and He is heard, upon the pages of God’s Word. <br /> <br />In The Bible, you will see His plan, for the earth and for every man, <br />A plan that gives our life meaning, and in His Son a new beginning. <br />With a life of purpose and peace; an eternal life that will not cease, <br />And all that you must do to start, is to accept Christ into your heart. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©03/2007)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/want-to-slow-down/
