Stress Less
by Belinda van Rensburg
Slow down, my friend - stress less,
Or else your life could be a mess;
Take things easy and relax
Don't do things which overtax.
Do what God wants you to do,
But do not do and do and do
Things which really matter not,
For such things will be forgot.
Rushing here, there, to and fro,
Eating junk food on the go;
Constantly on beck and call -
My friend, this is no life at all!
Look at the flowers and the sky,
Notice things that hop and fly.
Can you smell the rain-drenched earth;
Do you ever shake with mirth?
Energy gets spent and wasted
Whilst true joy remains untasted;
Now quiet down and feed your soul,
Or stress will take its deadly toll.
