Slow Down

Rating: 5.0


Time is churning, never stopping
Your caught up, you better start learning
To live each moment to the max
Dont stop for a second, never relax
Cos if you do, you might miss life
Then it will be over in the blink of an eye

One thing that you need to learn
Is when to reduce, and take things slow
To catch your breath, and take it all in
Rejuvernate your body, to start again
Thats a lesson thats hard to master
But once you have it, slow down, not faster

I've yet to uncover this 'slowing down'
I live to fast, both feet off the ground
I dont look back at what I do
Move onto the next, way too soon
Before I know it, Im spinning so mad
I hate this speed Im SOOO not glad.

Then one day when Im ninety three
I will say to myself Im too old you see
I spent all my days racing to be here
Now that I am, I've done nothing at all
Married my wife
Had a daughter THATS ALL

No job, no money, no house of my own
Regret and depression killer of all
So lonely, so sad of life I never had
Thats why I think Im a silly lad
On my own, nowhere to go, cept
a coffin or vase on the wall

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I never got it, till it was too late.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Craig Anderson 17 September 2012

Has a daughter thats all? Thats enough, to have breathed life into another is some peoples life-long dream that they will never achieve for whatever reasons. Be grateful for what little YOU think you have achieved. Because some may think it's enough. Regards. Craig
