Don’t let time slip away, you have so much to do
squeeze a goal in a day, it’s all for future you
Keep your eyes on the prize, delay your urge to eat
forget your wish to glamorise and happiness will treat
Allow yourself to small pleasures, relax your achy feet
frequency in all measures is surely up your street
Contentment is with a few, to count your friends in one
or 5 or more, you won’t be blue and special to someone
Be busy but don’t be rushed, balance is the key
or your schedule can leave you crushed and floating like debris
Move beyond the small talk to matters of more substance
metaphor of long walks, destination - dialog abundance
Think of yourself less and less, and less yet you are more
humility will impress those knocking at your door...

Inspiring! I really enjoyed your beautiful poem. Your words couldn't ring more true! Enlightenment can only reached by few...
I think the bold text in areas really helped to 'highlight' and bring focus to the most important parts of the text. The overall flow of the poem is very fluid, and your rhymes are really beautifully written. Great work!
Thanks so much for sharing, Alice!
