What Have You Done?

What have you done lately

To slow the world down?

To make life feel greatly,

To fix up that frown?

Did you listen to a song

You haven’t heard in years?

Admitted you were wrong

About one of your fears?

Did you hold a loved ones hand

In their last fleeting breathes?

Did you do something unplanned

Like cry over their death’s?

Did you stop to admire

The sun in the sky?

Did you ever inquire

God, oh why?

Did you stop to smell flowers,

That grow in the wild?

Did you sit around for hours

Just watching your child?

Have you cried at a sight

That moved you so deeply?

Turned down that fight

You knew would end cheaply?

Did you phone that friend

You haven’t seen in years?

Did you read to the end,

Just to end up in tears?

What have you done lately

To slow the world down?

To make life feel greatly?

To fix up that frown?
