Take your time

Look up
From your phone.
Please slow down
When children are near.
You are okay
You really are.
Just breathe a little
Try smelling
Or listening
To bring you back
To us.
Now is a gift.
You are missing it!
With all that
Discontent.
The work will get done
The bills will be paid
Or not
Either way
You are okay now.
Who knows how long
We’ve got?
Hold someone’s hand
Pet your cat.
Find some stillness
Inside of you
We need you here.
