Roses

Do you stop and smell the roses? No, you don't have the time.
Do you know smelling the roses is just a frame of mind?

Life goes by so quickly in this hustle, bustle world.
But roses are all around us, for every boy and girl.

Have you seen Old Glory waving? Did your heart swell with pride?
And did you thank God for freedom, though many brave men died?

Did you see those blue birds flying as you drove to work today?
And the colors in the sunset on your return displayed?

Did you hear the children laughing while playing games outside?
Or see a twinkle in your baby's eyes as you kissed her cheek goodnight?

Did you feel the breeze on your sweated brow that hot summer day?
And smell the rain in the springtime that washed the dust away?

Roses are all around us - even in busy times.
You don't need TIME to smell the roses - it takes a state of mind.
