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!!! :)))

So very true. We should thank God every day for the simplicity in life that sometimes goes unnoticed. Tiny little things like watching children playing with imaginery friends and singing to imaginery music. All very wonderful and put just so, here by yourself. Thanks for share

Amazing poem, and it was all entirely true. I loved how the words flowed and how you used them to express your meaning. Lovely writing.

This poem holds so much truth, it was terrific :]

This was pure 'awwe!' Your children are beautiful and so is this writing. You have a way with words and the song just adds a nice kick to it! Amazing, as usual.

I feel a strange sense of happiness in my heart as I read thru your lines! Oh! I loved how much the lines I can't say!

You keep on writing one masterpiece after the other, Tate!

Nor to rule the entire world
They wish to have given time to others
As enlightenment is then unfurled"

love the pictures of your kids having fun and enjoying the day!! Been a long while since I was near the ocean or large lake so, these pictures bring back fun memories to me. Oh I think I'm dong well day to day; having fun, taking the time to be with those around me and enjoying our being near one another. I'll have to post your write upon my door so I can re-read it once in a while as a REMINDER!! Thanks for sharing this with me!!

children are the happiness in the life, it is nice that you put these photos with the poem. beautiful

[Lilly]

Such a beautiful poem - a great reminder to appreciate the beauty and little things in life - something that we do as children but seem to forget as we grow older.
