"Take your time, don't live too fast . . .
Troubles will come and they will pass."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So often life can be a curse,
When people live it in reverse,
And when we’re moving double fast,
Before we know, our time is past.
In such a jumbled universe,
So often life can be a curse
The signs all say it’s speed that kills,
But just back-facing imbeciles.
Yet troubles held will never pass –
They stay, as in a looking glass.
So often life can be a curse,
What could be good gets only worse.
That saying there is grossly true,
The one who said it surely knew,
If you ignore this revered verse
So often life can be a curse.

Adding your comment:
. This is well done and follows the quote quite well. Living in the fast lane, never slowing down to enjoy what God has given us will kill us sooner than later. Though I think you mixed up the prompts for my contests as the quote prompt was for the Ottava Rima contest, I still feel this embodies spirit. So kudos to you for that.
