The Weekend Slow Down
Time to Breathe
It was Monday and then Friday came in a flash
I lost track of days - not just hours
The price of life being one mad dash
Oh well, my short-term goals were accomplished
I took care of family, friends and career
Everyday life still made me smile
The week ended smoothly or so it would appear
I hope the weekend moves more slowly
It's time to appreciate the fun in life
What's the saying? Stop and smell the flowers
Let go of stress, uncertainty and strife
Yes, everyone take a collective deep breath
Inhale and exhale; release your worries to the air
Leave behind the chaos of the world
And with those you love, find time to share
