Take It Easy For A While Poem by Jovanni Castro

Why are people always rushing things
Then they get mad when they mess up,
Slow down once in a while
Maybe take a minute to enjoy the little things around us,
But it seems our time is getting shorter everyday
Maybe it just seems that way but we are letting the beautiful things in our lives get away,
We can pretend it doesn't happen or we can act on it and fix it
Maybe we can spend more time with who we love,
Find out things about your kids that they have been trying to tell you for years
Your daughter or son could be gay,
Maybe your daughter or son is getting engaged
You don't know if you don't stop and learn,
Don't go along with missing the best things in life.
