Stop!

Stop and take a break.

A break from all the talking.

A break from all the fights.

A break from the busy schedules.

A break from sleepless nights.

Stop and take a look.

A look at a smile.

A look at a tear.

A look at surprise.

A look at fear.

Stop and listen.

To the song of the birds.

To the waves lashing against the shore.

To the breeze gushing by.

To raindrops, when it begins to pour.

Stop and feel the joy.

Of the aroma of good food.

Of that chilled beer mug.

Of the music that fills the air.

Of the warmth of the perfect hug.

Stop and go explore.

Explore places far and near.

Explore the uses of a camera lens.

Explore the minds of the people around.

Explore the magic of computers and pens.

Stop and take a moment.

A moment to breathe.

A moment to see.

A moment to feel.

A moment to just be...

Stop!
