Hurry
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
So what's your hurry?
Why rush through life like it's a race?
Slow down and take a breath,
enjoy the beauty that surrounds you.
The colors of the sunset,
the soft petals of a flower,
the laughter of a child,
the warmth of a friend's embrace.
These are the things that matter,
not the deadlines, the emails, the meetings.
Life is short, but it's also long,
and it's the moments we savor that count.
So why rush towards the finish line?
Take your time, savor each step,
and let the beauty of life unfold.
