POEM: A Simple Way To Breathe

"It’s easy to get real busy
That time becomes moneyNot some gift from the cosmosTrying to have it allForgetting how to live"

A SIMPLE WAY TO BREATHE

It’s easy to get real busy
That we forget the things that matter
most
Chasing the things that don’t
Trying to have it all
Forgetting how to live
For all is vanity
Forgetting how to breathe

It’s easy to get real busy
That time becomes money
Not some gift from the cosmos
That should be shared with loved ones
Forgetting it is the moments
And not the ornaments
That make us look great in the photos

It’s easy to get real busy
Trying to be rich dads
When all our sons & daughters want
Is for us not to be poor dads
Forgetting how to tuck our sons in bed
And sing lullabies to the girls
Forgetting how to be their hero

For each day we search
For a simpler way to breathe
Less busy is all we have to be
To understand life was meant to be lived
Not in the future with the Goosebumps
Not in the past with the heartbreaks
But in the present with each breath of fresh air
