Stop and Smell the Flowers
POETRY
10/9/2023
Do you ever stop to smell the flowers?
Those words blow towards me, into my ears, throughout my head,
so I stop to smell the flowers
He’s having a stressful day
She’s so tired working a 9 to 5
They never stop to enjoy the little things in life
So I stop to smell the flowers
The bills are coming up
The weather is a little rough
I have no idea what I am doing
So stop and smell the flowers
I get you get so caught up
Your body aches and by the time you take a break you already have to wake up
Your tears crawl down your cheeks when outside the moon speaks
Stop and smell the flowers
Wipe those tears away
There’s beauty in an average day
If it’s hard for you to see
Stop and smell the flowers
