![]() Take It EasyA Poem by peppino ruggeri![]() Uplifting![]() Take it easy Say good morning to
the sun Delight in the
wonders of a day Behold the last
sunray Greet the solitary
old man Sitting on a creaking
bench Tracing alleys of
his past Keep the peace,
avoid all strife Be forever grateful For the precious
gift of life Take it easy Sing a love song
with a bird Smell the scent
rising to the sky Dream that you are
a butterfly Stop chasing
ephemeral and vain Get off the
speeding train Going to a station
called nowhere Keep the peace,
avoid all strife Be forever grateful For the precious
gift of life Take it easy Smile to a tired
mother As if you were her
friend Show that you truly
understand Wave to a weeping
child Help her walk with
pride Hug the yearning
child you have inside Keep the peace,
avoid all strife Be forever grateful For the precious
gift of life Take it easy Go for a long walk
deep in the woods Listen to the
silence of the universe Learn nature’s
language to converse Stand still, of
earth revere The beauty and the
grace Of the forest
absorb healing embrace Keep
the peace, avoid all strife Be
forever grateful For the
precious gift of life Take it easy Sit silently by a
stream Listen to the
rhythm of your heart Become enraptured
in a dream Don’t fret, do not
regret Just let it be,
learn to let go Love is all there
is to know Keep
the peace, avoid all strife Be
forever grateful For the
precious gift of life © 2025 peppino ruggeri |
