The need to Relax !

We need to relax, to think
Going slow, to glow
Going fast, will not last
The longer it takes, the better it feels
So taklng it easy, is what we need
We need to relax, take heed.
The need to relax, long overdue
The need to relax, what a view
So the feeling of well done, is in the sun
We should rather enjoy and have fun
And thinking this, will only win
The need to relax, has got to be in.
We need to relax, now discover
Look inside and uncover
So a tortoise, lives long
A slow life, forever strong
A hard shell and tough feet
We need to relax, then treat
The need to relax, not to be seen
The need to relax, what do you mean ?
Got no time, see you later
Got no peace, in a hurry
The need to relax, is there
The need to relax, please share !
NB : The need to relax, is now, so don´t burn out, just go slow and glow !
Cheers to Fears !
