Unnoticed

We chase the clock, a ceaseless race,

Through fleeting hours, a frantic pace.

Moments slip like grains of sand,

Unnoticed, falling from our hands.

A child’s laughter, a fleeting smile,

A sunset’s glow—forgotten awhile.

Promises made, now echoes fade,

Buried beneath the plans we’ve laid.

The keys, the dreams, the time to care,

We lose them all, unaware.

Each passing day, we trade our view,

For tasks we deem more urgent to pursue.

But what is gained, and what is lost?

What treasures left at time’s great cost?

If only we could pause, just be,

To find the gifts we fail to see.

Slow down, my soul, the world can wait,

Before the losses grow too great.

For in the stillness, life’s truths appear—

The things we cherish are always near.
