I wonder where the songs come from

watching children skip all 'round

Playing like time had no meaning

as snow fell upon the ground

 

 Man's last words are never of work

nor to rule the entire world

They wish they'd spent time with others

as enlightenment's unfurled

 

When you rush along through your day

throwing out gifts un-opened

The dreams your parents had for you

the ones that go unspoken

 

Take time out of your stressful day

and try not to dance so fast

 Life is not a race to be won

sadly the music won't last

Author's Note

The chance to dance upon this world is granted to us but once. Don't live the last half in regrets of lost moments from the first.

This is what I was looking for... Its so inspiring!!! Beautiful thoughts and beautiful words Tate... You always come up with something that's so overwhelming... There's so much to learn from you!
Time just slips through our hands and life just passes by when we are so busy planning...
Gifts un-opened, dreams unspoken... these are wonderful expressions!
Thanks for sharing! :)

And you have beautiful kids!!! :)))

Reminds me of my days on the beach as a young adult, a parent, and sadly also as a medic. There's a story there too, but it will have to wait. You capture the essence of our lives here in this inspiring work.

This is so true. You need to spend less time working and more time with the ones you love because one day they will be gone. Great write.

Tate, very insightful and moving. The theme of time is always welcome in my book:)

[LonelySoul]

Children should be children for as long as possible,for the world makes them grow up way too fast and way too soon...All we can do as parents is give them the best chances for education,and as much love as they need to grow...Very touching write here my friend...LonelySoul

Exceptional, moving piece! Its message so true, so wise. Slow down, enjoy life. Inspirational, Tate!!

[Thorn]

I like it. It has a simple message, but it's nice.

I think there was a question mark missing at one point (in the second stanza). But, apart from that, this was a great poem!

(and definitely better than the stuff I write!)
