Why can't we just
Take our time?
Stop and smell the roses?
Look at the stars?
Notice the elderly couple?
Lick the lollipop instead of biting it?
Notice our surroundings?
Sympathize?
Stop complaining?
Listen?
Let someone in our hearts?
Dare to love?
Live to dream?
Dream to accomplish?
Be fearless?
Be happy?
Why can't we just live?

I was inspired by the fact that nobody in this day and age stops to enjoy the little things.
