Stand beside me

Just for a moment,
  look past other expectations.

See what is there.


So much beauty,
  missed while passing by.

Stop for a moment
  and embrace the life around you.

Rest for a moment,
  and stand beside me.

Now,
  pay attention.

i like the way you said what i have often tried to impress upon my students....don't rush by life...stop and absorb it, smell the roses, so to speak.

Exactly, my friend.

I have wanted to say this to quite a few people in my life at varying times.. too many of them just pass on by not paying attention to the beauty around them and what is going on inside those who care about them.. people are too selfish and driven to slow down, take a breath, and enjoy... try to see joy in the little things.. listen... understand.. appreciate.. goes for themselves as well.. well done!.. says so much in very powerful lines.. I enjoyed..

My keyboard argues with me. She can be quite testy.
