May We Slow Down

May we slow down enough
To buy strawberries from that little stand

May we slow down enough
To smell the fragrance of the orange trees

May we slow down enough
To buy flowers on the street corner

May we slow down enough
To pick poppies on our walk

May we slow down enough
To dance in the kitchen

May we slow down enough
To stargaze late at night

May we slow down enough
To appreciate that us means you and me

May we slow down enough
To remember that life was meant to be enjoyed

May we slow down enough
To thank Jesus for the sweet little things
