Today I will not hurry,
I will take my time instead.
I will walk among the flowers
I will pause and bow my head.
I will savor all the moments
That are still mine to enjoy.
I will laugh and love and ponder
And contemplation employ.
Every moment is an eternity
Residing forever in my heart.
If I rush through it in haste
I will sacrifice what it could impart.
So I will take today as I find it.
Resting secure in what I know.
That there will be a few more lessons
That I am to learn before I go.
Thanks for your thoughts. It is one I wrote this morning and it expresses my feelings today. Let me know your opinions on it please!
Peace Be With You,
Debra

Debra,
This is a beautiful poem and I enjoyed reading it very much, I have liked poetry in my life as well. It is so important that we take time to slow down and think about life, and who we are. Indeed you will have an eternity to reside in if you continue to meditate. I would encourage you to enjoy some of the verses in Psalms, they are as beautiful as any poetry you can find. In your quiet moments maybe you could do as the verse below indicates:
Zephaniah 2:3Â seek Jehovah, all YOU meek ones of the earth, who have practiced His own judicial decision. Seek righteousness, seek meekness. Probably YOU may be concealed in the day of Jehovah’s anger.
Psalm 119:65 You have dealt well indeed with your servant,
O Jehovah, according to your word.
66 Teach me goodness, sensibleness and knowledge themselves,
For in your commandments I have exercised faith.
67 Before I was under affliction I was sinning by mistake,
But now I have kept your very saying.
68 You are good and are doing good.
Teach me your regulations.
69 The presumptuous have smeared me with falsehood.
As for me, with all [my] heart I shall observe your orders.
70 Their heart has become unfeeling just like fat.
I, for my part, have been fond of your own law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
In order that I may learn your regulations.
72 The law of your mouth is good for me,
More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

If you sent this poem to all your friends, they would probably forward it to most of their friends-who would also pass it on.
Your poem would be circulating on the Internet for many years to come and even show up on some peoples web pages.
It would be a hit.
I'm sure that's not the perspective you were looking for, but that's the kind of poem you wrote. It's a good one.

Very nice, thank you for sharing it.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

You should buy the book, "The Craft of Lyric Writing" by Sheila Davis. It will help you analyze your own writing.
