Speed Kings

A call to slow down on the race track of life…

There is danger when we speed around
the race track known as life.
And when we do we often lose control.
When we grip the wheel too tightly
and the landscape's just a blur,
what is most at risk is peril to our soul.

When the pedal's to the metal
and we blow-by pit stop cues,
we're deprived of what we need to reach the end.
Plus, the joy is in the journey
(not the fabled checkered flag).
We'd do well to smell the roses, racing friends.
