I feel soft carpet on the floor
I feel soft towels, dry, and damp
I clasp hard handles on each door
Watch light cast shadows from the lamp
I hear the hum of traffic noise
Gulp down refreshing cups of water
I see shelves of dolls, big bears, toys
I hear bird song, far, joyful, laughter
Breathe in, aromas fill the room
Lavender, a pale pink spray
Musk, sweet jasmine, strong perfume
One day will all this go away?
No! Yet one day we'll all pass on
We will not sniff, nor touch, nor feel
It will go on, but I'll be gone
Yet what I see now seems so real
Some say slow down, others hurry
I use my eyes, nose, teeth, and toes,
Some say stay calm; others worry
Life's brief, real, sniff this lovely rose.
