If you walk among the flowers And never watch them bloom, Nor stop along the way To inhale their sweet perfume; If you look upon your child And never watch him play, Nor see the many changes, With each new waking day; If you walk across the land Never looking towards the sky, Nor gaze upon a sunset, Or the birds that pass you by; If you walk alone, needing no one, Passing all others by, Feeling you should always be strong, And never even cry; If you dwell among many Never opening your door, You've denied yourself of riches, For then you will be poor. “For every moment you live and regret You lost a moment of life” |
