Don’t Rush

Where are you going old man
that you must look over your shoulder?
What are you running from tired sir?
Are you fleeing from getting older?

Are there any regrets in your life?
Do you have merits from your life?
Have you learned love in this life?
Did you have or give respect in this life?

Don’t be in a hurry sir to make this crossing.
Take your time, it’s worth remembering.
Do not rush to do your slumbering,
tomorrow will come soon enough.

Is there any anger left inside you?
Do your friends still abide you?
Have you friends to stand beside you?
Will you be remembered when you’re gone?

Take your time to enjoy this living.
Enjoy the giving, not the taking.
Stop the rushing, do the savoring.
In peace, greet the dawn.
