Pull the Brakes

A moment to go through past days A moment to stop to activate breaks To reflect on something more, inmost to the core Just to make sure we're all alive and well Can you tell? A moment to slow the speed down A moment to greet the ones we surround Tomorrow someone's gone, another's left alone Then it is too late to tell what can't wait Make sure they know before they go I don't care what it takes Now it's time we pull the breaks
