The Slow Life

I am trying to adjust my life, so I can live it slowly,
For I'm sure I've missed some wonderful things, that I've passed too fast to see,
Cause it seems I'm always in high gear, a workaholic fellow,
But I want to shift it down to low, so I can be more mellow,
To stop and smell the roses, and just watch a butterfly,
And to find those things within my world, that will make me say oh my,
To visit with family and old friends, and take time to reminisce,
And never rush off without giving, the grandbabies a hug and a kiss,
I'll guess I'll drive the speed limit, and let everybody pass,
Cause if I'm not in a hurry, I won't burn near as much gas,
I'm not too old to experience, those moments that take my breath away,
So I really am going to slow down, and just live life day by day.
