Can we just chill for a moment please?
Let go of our burdens big, our troubles tall
Close our eyes for a moment
Before the moment’s gone.
Just chill for a moment please.
Take the load off our shoulders
Take a deep breath to breathe
Feel the good air slide in
And your worries exhale out
Chill for a moment please.
To put our worries down
And our feet up
For a moment please.
And remember that
Life is less about what we have to lift
And more about what we find uplifting
A moment.
Please.

It’ was one interesting day that started nor ended as expected. A moment was needed.

I should have read this earlier in the day! I needed to let it all go. Thanks for the reminder, beautiful poem.
Can we just chill for a moment please?
Your use of repetition helped me “chill”
I have been stressed out, so many thoughts in my head at the same time. After reading your poem through several times, I felt calmer.
Now I will go and lift my feet up and put my worries down.

Thank you for this.
“Life is less about what we have to lift

This is a beautiful poem, Raivenne. Such an important reminder to stop, slow down, and savor moments.
I feel myself breathing out and breathing in slower as I read your poem. We do need to find time in our life to chill for a while each day.
Very nice…and inspiring!
ah that is very true… and we don’t take the time often enough to just be – just breath…
This is a great poem to read at the pub tonight. We should hang it on the wall there!
I find myself relaxing and thinking of all that truly was uplifting! Great reminder and excellent write.
Very well said! Everyone needs a chill pill every once in awhile.
this is a poem I need to read and follow… I’m the kind of person who tends to thinkk of what’s next constantly and not really take the time to chill and enjoy the now
This is brilliant, and yes a breath and a moment can be the best gift we can be given. Cheers!
This is really good–and how interesting that, as I walked to the grocery store, I was praying “thanks” to God for being the “lifter of my head” (and heart).
This was a great reminder and with the way you have written it, and the calming repetition, I could almost feel myself exhaling as I read it.
I think I need to read this poem every day! The diminishing repetition (is that the official name for it?) works very well here, just like lessening our burden, you can almost feel the worries slipping away. And I like the clever puns – put our feet up, our worries down and lifting up and uplifting. Very nice!
I love moments like that. It’s like time would stop at the best possible moment.
what good advice you have given – just chill- wonderful!
Wow, this was beautiful. A great reminder to just take a moment. Thank you for sharing!
Here’s why I’m smiling. I’m smiling because my sister-in-law and I communicate when we’re overwhelmed by telling each other “I need to take a moment.” Our moment-taking has strengthened and upheld us for over two decades. You better be sure I’m going to send this poem her way. ❤
