Ahkeno

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars. Like skies at night
No time to turn at Beauty’s glance.
And watch her feet, how they can dance,
No time to wait till her mouth cab
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
(William Henry Davies)

I have learned this poem when I was 10 standard. So I knew about this poem near 10 years. At frits, I don’t know about what it means. Maybe I young enough for understand that poem meaning. Today I clean my book shelves for donate my books to the library. I found this poem and read it and I can’t breathe for a little while. This poem show now day lives. We work, we earn money, we try hard, and we invent lots. But we don’t have time to share our feeling, happy, enjoy to family, friends. I didn’t mean we are not happy. But we lot our leisure time. We have holidays at the end of years or Christmas. But it looks like limit your time. You may spend your holidays during these days and return back your work like a robot.
Some people work for money. Some people work for fun. Whatever you do, you have full of responsibility for your work. Another thing is you must think about yourself. Are you real happy in your life? Happy and fun is not same. For fun, we can get everywhere. Drink alcohol, play games or sports. We can do everything we like. For happy, we don’t find happy around us. It comes to us. For example, you can happy by the way you get kiss from your wife or your parents when you came back from work. Only one kiss can make you happy.
For me, care and kindness make me happy. I want a lot of love from people. If someone will love me and care my feeling, that make me happy. It is depend on your opinions and your mind. Different people have different ideas. Most of people lost their mind. They think, they will happy when they got good job, earn money, wear branded clothes and cosmetics and so on. I don’t mean money is not important for life. Money is important but don’t buy feeling and happy with money. All are my opinion. I just share my feeling when I read poem. Like my words “Different people have different idea”. But main important things is don’t lose your mind. Don’t live under the control. You are human, you can manage time and you have the opportunity to control the time.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Go in there and do the best you can. That’s all you can do.
