SMELLING THE ROSES, Photo and Story by Rebekah Ward
I really wish this woman would move up.
“Ouch!” That was my toe.
“Sorry, did I step on your foot?”
“Oh no, I’m fine, thanks.”
I’m so hungry. I hope Mom made some food.
Wow, the light is beautiful. I love summer. It lifts my spirits. Life moves too fast. I wish people just stopped once in a while, stopped to appreciate things – life, their own lives, the lives of others.
It’s all about going to school to get into a better school to get a good job to make money to be happy. Why can’t we just slow down and take some time to smell the roses – or the smelly guy behind me?
