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.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
