A lovely poem i found on a blog
We fail to notice
Things around us
Things, we take for granted
Cause we know
It will be
Tomorrow and the day next
Flowers for instance,
Grow quietly,
Unknowingly,
Spreading its warmth and joy to everyone and anyone
But do we once
Stop and smell the flowers
No instead
We pluck them,
We tramp them,
We throw them,
And we walk passed them
Never do we praise its beauty,
Selflessly,
And lovingly.
That’s because we are too absorbed
In our very own machine-like lives, that
We refuse to notice anything but ourselves!
So I plead to you now,
Stop and smell the flowers
Before it’s too late!

Stop and smell the flowers
