Rest

Running

Constantly running

From one place to the next

No time to pause

No chance to catch your breath

Will I ever get to rest?

Hurrying

Always on to the next

Never stopping to really see

The people you are passing

Blind to need, to pain

Will I ever get to rest?

Busy-ness

A calendar too full

No space to breath

No times for those you love

No time for laughter

Will I ever get to rest?

Slowing down

Making space to stop

Slowing down

Creating time to breath

Slowing down

Taking time to see

Listening

To people all around

Hearing

What they're really saying

Loving

Walking alongside

Resting

Escaping from the busy-ness

Resting

Something we really need

Resting

A beautiful gift from God
