Don’t forget to take your time
before someone takes it for you.
Breathe. Relax. This game is life
goes so fast. Smile. Laugh. Sit
back before the chickens hatch.
Enjoy your time and others will
too. Take your time. Go. Live
your life, and I will live mine.
Together, we can take small steps
on the stairwell to eternity. Then,
we will know how it feels to be
free. Look ahead: not at a watch.
Forget all that you were taught.
Don’t rush. Be patient. Say that
it will work out. Say that
it will be fine taking your time.
