No Time

No time to stop in this world,
No time to stare awhile,
At the beauty of a budding rose,
Or the warmth of a smile.

No time to watch the summer skies,
Or rainbow`s pretty hue,
No time to stop and listen
To the pigeon`s husky coo.

No time to linger silently
And view the stars at night,
No time to stroll on moonlit strands,
And watch the oceans`s might.

No time to gaze at meadows
Swaying in the summer breeze,
No time to quietly listen,
To the gently rustling trees.

No time to linger wistfully
At soil so neatly planted;
No time for God`s own beauty,
All`s taken now for granted.

No time.
no time.
No time.
