The wind at her back, the sun on her face
she’s living her life as if it is a race.
“Go go go” says the mind,
“There is not enough time
life is happening now
there is no rewind.”

So, she moves quickly ahead
she’s getting things done
she skips a few steps
but she misses the one
that is right here and right now
right under her toes
the only one that is real
this, the heart knows.

But, she can’t hear her heart
she won’t hear its knock
for her vision is set
at the time on the clock.

So, she sets some more goals
she wins and achieves
she’s stacking up trophies
but fails to notice the breeze
of the wind at her back
or the sun on her face
she’s a little too busy
caught up in the race.
