Clear View

By Andrew R. Duckworth

Slow down, you’re moving way too fast
For anything good to last.
Slow down, you’re gonna take to the sky
Before those waxen wings can fly.
Falling down is when we see the graven error
In the rear view.
Falling down is when we wish we made a choice
With a clear view.

Slow down, there’s no better time than now
To make a plan and understand
That we may just need a helping hand.
Slow down, there’s no better time than now
To see the road ahead, not be misled,
And take note of the ground you tread.
