Search for the feeling you found so long ago
Slow down the days
Slow down the minutes that turn into hours and years
Take a chance to live in the moment
Take a moment to breathe
To find the feeling you once thought you had
Take the time to live in the present
To enjoy each gift life has to offer
And each day that doesn’t go the way you plan
Smell the flowers that bloom in the spring
And the storms of the summer and fall
Feel the calm and contentment of the winter
And be ready for spring again when it comes
Remember the people who care
And forget those who don’t
Remember the times you shared
And forget the moments you wish for more
All the times imprinted in your brain
Etched into your mind
The moments when you were infinite and free
Chase that feeling for the rest of your life
And when you finally catch it, never let it go.
Live a life where you give all you can.
Because if you don’t, did you even live?

I was about to say that this poem fully embodies the phrase, "Take time to smell the roses," but I realized you spoke those words already: "Smell the flowers that bloom in the spring." This was the reminder I needed today to slow my brain down for a minute and observe and appreciate the world around me!
