When Was the Last Time?
When was the last time?
The last time you were aware of the wind brushing across your skin
The last time you felt the texture of the grass and the rocks and the sand
The last time you stood back and looked at the world in detail
The last time you saw people for who they were inside
The last time you heard the birds sing in the morning
The last time you smelled the morning dew
The last time you stood with childlike wonder
The last time you were filled with childlike curiosity
The last time you stopped rushing around with things to do, places to be
When was the last time?
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
