The Sights of Life


Stop and look around  

Enjoy every single sight,

Don’t say you’ll see it next time around 

Try to see all there is to see before night. 

Don’t make me say it twice 

It may seem you don’t have the time, 

But you won’t pass it twice

If you don’t take advantage it would be a crime. 

To waste everyday just merely passing by

Wasting every precious second of life,

Just wanting to get by 

Another day and hour fly by like a knife. 

Stop ignoring the beauty in the world

Maybe it’s time to stop and look,

So get out of your house and look at the world

And look at all that you greedly took.
