I dropped something. I picked it up
and praised it that it made me stop.
When I get busy I stop a while
enjoy my breath and find my smile
Don’t waste your time—find happiness
in being mindful in your breath.
I breathe the air as sweet caress
and help myself to mindfulness.
I drink my tea with tasteful tongue
and breathe the scent which comes along.

and breathe the scent which comes along.
With gentle steps I kiss the ground
so mindfully I get around.
The present moment ends your stress
makes vitamins of mindfulness.
