Ponder prose poem .. Thought series

Quietly I sit in my chair

Eyes searching out the front window

They watch the snow slowly come down

Painting everything in a coat of winter white

People walking fast as they can through the snow

Cars speeding down the slippery icy road

All in a rush do something they can do three minutes later

 I sit and ponder

Why is this world in such a rush these days?

We eat faster

We drive faster

We fly faster

We grow food faster

We pollute our waters faster

We play games that play faster

We text faster

We talk faster in conversations that's far less meaningful...

Our kids try to grow up faster

And when they get there, they realize not only what they gave up to get there in a rush

But also, they can not go back and get a chance for a do over

To me as the world become faster, we as humans regress

We don't take the time to enjoy life because we are too busy trying to rush to get the next best thing by  passing up the real wonders of the world that God has given Us...
