Take all the time you need
In life as you proceed
Just linger here a while
Live each step of every mile
Our world’s history is led
By memories of the dead
No need to rush with your goodbye -
Why the frantic haste to die?
Beyond this road of daily strife
Lies the “other side” of life
Take all the time you need
Every hour as you proceed
We know art and soul will only flow
As our stories are made and told...

I liked this one. It was different than a lot of the other entries and rhymes very nicely. I like the thoughts of this and the middle couplet.
Thanks for entering!
