People looking at their phones
Earbuds in their ears.
Laptops at the ready
No one even hears.

All the sounds around them.
The birds, the cars, the talk.
No one pays attention.
They’re texting when they walk.

Put down your stuff, turn it off.
Right now, step away.
See the world around you.
Try it for today.

If you are just more present
In what is happening now.
You surely won’t regret it
‘Cause the world is one big WOW!
