Stop and look

To step back,
From the bustle of being on the track,
See all the beauty that surrounds,
Soak in all those hidden sounds,
The ones that if you stop and close your eyes,
Hear all that rustles,buzzes and flies,
To see that flower breaking through,
See its simple beauty anew,
Marvel at its simple grace,
Find that a smile has crept on your face,
How something simple can brighten your day,
Having a smile in whatever you say,
To start that seed and watch it grow,
How it spreads such a positive glow,
It can make you fly,
Bringing light to any cloudy sky,
A kiss from your child so gentle and loving,
Can send your heart soaring,
Its amazing how we miss,
The little things can give us such bliss,
It takes just a moment,
To enjoy such a normal event,
Not to take the time,
Is the biggest crime
