be aware of other  travelers

as they traverse this path of life

some will hurry to their destination

smile at them and step aside

one of the benefits of growing older

one can realize the precious gift of time

and in an effort to savor each moment

take it in and step aside

each of us are on our journey and we learn to measure our stride

but we learn in different ways try not to judge just step aside

some will greet you, some will taunt you, some will rob you if they can

try your best not to impede them the hand of life will reel them in

i grin at what i have found here traveling down this road of life

but i am keenly aware of what i missed, so i slowed my pace

and step aside

slow down every chance you get, you won’t regret it

let the fast ones pass and step aside
