Music, smiles, flowers, birds, animals, babies….how great they are,
They do more than medicine to renew your health and spirit… by far.

It’s so easy to forget how quickly life goes by,
And time can be gone in the wink of an eye.

Hustling, bustling, everyday work and grind,
And at the time, they seem so important in your life and mind.

No time to play, no time to sit and talk,
No time to pick flowers, to laugh or take a walk.

Appointments to keep, bills to pay…no time to just sit and play.
Everything’s put on hold… you’ll do it another day,

But that day, inevitably never seems to come,
And suddenly, when all life’s chores are done,
You’re left waiting, wishing someone would come.

The cycle goes on… realization comes too late,
How can you save others from a similar fate?

Tell them there’s more to life than work and money,
Tell them to stop and to savor all of life’s delicious honey!
