Slowdown Your Pace

Hey youngster, where do you scurry? Why are you in such frivolous hurry? Slow down your pace to look around And enjoy the marvels that surround. Aimless you wander far and wide And seldom bother to look inside. Ever be content with what you have Though denied much of what you crave. The gift of youth is a wondrous thing Before aches and pains the onset of age bring, Feast on the glories, God has set In goblets filled for man to taste. Fill your heart with the elixir of love Champion the cause of peace as your vow Act in the Present and look up with hope For it's the magic that fills up every cup Wipe a tear and bring some cheer That sure will leave you truly dear Make the weary feel that you care And lighten the burden that they bear. A glow of warmth when borne on your face Adds so much more to your innate grace So light up your face with radiant smiles And let your laughter ring down the aisles. Nothing lasts ever, it's wise to learn So why go crazy for so much to earn? Worldly gains may add up to your fame But such transient things, your soul may defame! Happiness resides nowhere but inside Be vexed or relaxed is up to you to decide Turn the commonest fare in to a royal banquet And let little things bring joy and delight! Rejoice in Life and Nature's bounteous source Never let passing trifles be your course Humble yourself and kneel down to pray For it is God who shows us the way With all disease and deceit, it's still a beauteous world And never ever see it as a desert bald! So slow down your pace to look around And enjoy the marvels that surround!
