Don't cut the plant, <br />Just let it grow. <br />Don't rush through life, <br />Go nice and slow. <br /> <br />Don't cut the blossom, <br />Just inhale it's soul, <br />What grows before you, <br />Is God's true gold. <br /> <br />Don't rush inside, <br />When it starts to pour. <br />Just walk through the rain, <br />As you've, done before. <br /> <br />Rise early one day, <br />And behold the dawn, <br />And a giant red orb, <br />Will stifle your yawn. <br /> <br />Wonder at the moon, <br />High in the night sky. <br />And the stars all around, <br />So incredibly high. <br /> <br />Do you remember, <br />When you were so young, <br />And a world full of wonder, <br />Was there to be won. <br /> <br />Some look but don't see, <br />And who holds the key? <br />To the wonders the lord made, <br />For you and for me. <br /> <br />Some hear, but don't listen, <br />They're too busy by far. <br />To hear rustling of leaves, <br />Or see twinkling of stars. <br /> <br />To hear birds in the trees, <br />Oh such beautiful songs. <br />To see clouds floating by, <br />When the wind is so strong. <br /> <br />Don't rush through your life, <br />Take a deep breath and then. <br />Behold all the marvels, <br />God created for men. <br /> <br />Smell of the flowers, <br />Along lifes highway. <br />And your life will be better, <br />By far in this way. <br /> <br />5/1/05 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/don-t-rush-through-life/
