Drive a little slower, <br />Take a look around, <br />Remember the houses, <br />The yellow stripes of time. <br /> <br />Walk a little slower, <br />Breathe in the fresh air, <br />Remember the look in strangers' eyes. <br />The glimpse into another's life. <br /> <br />Eat a little slower, <br />Take a moment to taste each taste, <br />Remember the server's name, <br />The complex simplicity of food. <br /> <br />Talk a littler slower, <br />Think about each word being said, <br />Remember each reply, <br />The interactions that form the day. <br /> <br />Move a little slower, <br />Pay attention to each muscle, <br />Remember how it feels, <br />The connect to the world. <br /> <br />Breathe a little slower, <br />Think about each breath, <br />Remember the heart beating in your chest, <br />The key to everything else. <br /> <br />Love a little slower, <br />Show your love and don't just say it, <br />Remember to put love above money, <br />The fuel to our success. <br /> <br />Laugh a little slower, <br />Really feel the emotion, <br />Remember to laugh often, <br />The relief from stress. <br /> <br />Dance a little slower, <br />Hold onto each word and note of music, <br />Remember the rhythm and beat, <br />The movements of life. <br /> <br />Live a little slower, <br />Take time to make your life what you want, <br />Remember that you only have one chance, <br />The choice to sit back or to live to the fullest. <br /> <br />Exist a little slower and you will know what happiness is. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />By: Bethany M. <br />May 2,2012<br /><br />Bethany Maxwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-slower/
