A city slowly comes to life
\nAs the morning has begun
\nAnd I the task for to bask
\nI have started in the sun.<\/p>\n
The world goes by in from of my eyes
\nAll in a rush and frantic
\nI, the poet, prefer to take my time
\nI like it slow, more romantic.<\/p>\n
Its not what you have that you enjoy
\nIts what of it you make
\nAnd I shall enjoy the day
\nPurely for its own sake.<\/p>\n
