The quiet has things to say

The world is so full of people, people who are needing love and care
Yet how often do we stop to notice them, notice them anywhere?
We are so wrapped up in all our doings and the places we have to be
That we often miss out on helping the people we so often fail to see

Yes, we have our obligations and our days are unrealistically full
To get hold of our busy attention our own families have to tug and pull
Yet this is the world we're living in,  "it"  has  created for us this race
We cannot even discover things that are literally in front of our face.

So what is the answer to this dilema this plague we find ourselves in
How do we stop all of this nonsense and let something new in us begin
It would take a major overhauling and an examination of all we do
Letting go of some of that extra stuff might be necessary, this is true.

For no one can be in every place and no one can be doing everything
Sometimes we have to say "enough" to our extracurricular scheduling.
It isn't  absolutely necessary:  all this stuff we are doing with our day
What is wrong with slowing down a little? The quiet has things to say..
