Driving fast down time’s hectic road

Passing new sign’s life-changing mode

 

Hey busy people, “What’s your rush?”

Best to paint life with brand new brush

 

Slow self down, before passing by

More to life than hello and bye

 

Coffee’s better with second cup

Take time to really size life up

 

Spend precious moments, call your friend

Each minute pays big dividends

 

Look around, lend others your hand

Playing music on life’s bandstand

 

Time spent with young children at play

Ageless, feeling younger each day

 

Neighborhood walk with man’s best friend

Rounding out life’s perfect weekend

 

Share love with your special someone

Lighting rainbows with rising sun

 

Cruisin’ along life’s peaceful street

No rush now, enjoying each treat

The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength.

Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.

W. (William) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a French-born English writer.  His writings published quite an impressive collection of short stories, novels, and plays.
