There's no time to stand and stare 

  

What is a life full of care, There's no time to stand and stare?

There's no time to see the periwinkle,

There's no time to see the stars twinkle!

There's no time to feel the moon light,

There's no time to fly the kite!

There's no time to feed the pigeons,

There's no time to see them flock for no reason!

There's no time to see the dew,

There's no time to see the leaves which are so few!

There's no time to see the dotted sheet with stars and moon,

There's only time to drive cars!

What's a life full of care,

 There's no time to  stand and stare?
