Rushing around like a nutcase Is that how life should be? We shouldn’t be in a rat race One day we will all see Taking our time is essential More haste less speed is so true Being human isn’t just a credential It also means I’m like you Life can rush past us too quickly So stop to gather your thoughts Speed often makes us seem prickly Slow down to enjoy its reports Next time you’re out walking Or on a train or in a car Take a deep breath whilst talking And look at surroundings afar There’s a picture laid right before you How beautiful it is in your mind I hope you’re sharing it, please do Relax, breathe and be kind
