The trees swaying to the breeze <br />Butterflies flying hither and thither <br />Millions of radiant colors everywhere <br />But oh! Where is the TIME to see? <br />Chirping birds sing melodiously <br />The waves of the ocean slap the rocks <br />Nature conjures up a symphony <br />But oh! Where’s the TIME to hear? <br />Fragrant scents fill the morning air <br />As the flowers bloom just as dawn arrives <br />And the first drops of rain touch the golden sand <br />But oh! Where’s the TIME to smell? <br />Oh yes! There is no time <br />To stop and admire the marvels of nature <br />But we seem to have all the time in the world <br />To destroy from what has been provided to us <br />In the name of ‘modernizing’ and ‘technology’ <br />But when Mother Nature brings her wrath upon us <br />We flee like rats- who will save us now? <br /> <br />Risha Ahmed (11 yrs)<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/001-where-is-the-time/
