In a busy world

176 words·1m read
Don’t get too busy my friend
This, you should know…

Don’t get too busy to sing
When you long for relief.
Don’t get too busy to meet
Those friends whom you cherish.
Don’t get too busy to focus
On the important things of life.
Don’t get too busy focusing on everything,
And neglecting everything.

Don’t get too busy that
You lose the beauty of love,
Don’t get too busy that
Love becomes so dull to you.
Don’t get too busy trying
To chase the wind of riches,
It’s all dust and shadows anyway.
Don’t get too busy thinking
You can achieve every feat,
That’s not the essence of your being.

Don’t get too busy depriving
Yourself of youthful joy,
But do so with modesty.

Don’t get too busy
And lose sight of your call,
Love is the greatest of all.
Don’t get too busy,
There’s more to life,
Yet, less to have of it.
Don’t get too busy worrying
About what you can’t change.
Don’t get too busy forgetting
You own nothing anyway.
