SLOW DOWN

With all the bustle and hustle of everyday life,
Trying to keep up with the joneses and the rat race,
Arising early everyday, working nine to five,
We often times tend to forget that we are here by grace,
But in the midst of a busy and superfast 21st century,
We need to Slow Down, take the time to say "thank you!"
To the one who has given us the life we live,
Have an attitude of gratitude,

In the midst of a very busy schedule,
And all the many things that we try to juggle,
Trying to cope with the struggle,
Of everyday life,
Let us take the time to Slow Down,
And appreciate the very little things of life,

Like, take the time to drink a glass of water,
Heave a sigh of relief, it will make you feel better,
Take the time to breathe in the air of the summer,
Admire the bright blue skies and feel the warmth of the weather,
Take the time to give the kids a hug and tell them you love them,
Take the time to look your spouse in the eyes, give them a kiss,
A hug, let out a smile in their direction, and tell them you love them,
So Slow Down and appreciate family,

Try to stay in good health, do the best you can and leave the rest,
Always remember that you are blessed,
On this journey of life, know that you are not alone,
Your strength comes from the one who dwells on His throne,
Don't put your life through a distress,
Try to fall back and relief the stress,
You need to be alive and healthy for your generation, please,
Just try and Slow Down, and rejuvenate yourself, please,

Finally, take the time to call a friend,
Tell them you care, and you'll be by them till the end,
People need to know that you care,
And that you're not just interested in your cares,
Get off the computer sometimes, and spend quality time with friends,
I know life gets very busy sometimes, but just try and Slow Down,
And remember, do your best and leave the rest,
It is well.
Peace.
