A stop sign,
a single pause in life.
It may keep us from dying,
keep us from moving too fast.
A stop sign
can be a warning
to live slowly,
taking life a day at a time.
No warnings, no stops,
can mean disaster
and I'd rather make the stop
than dive head first
into my own undoing.
A pause, a stop
to look around me,
to bask in my life as what it is.
Never could I realize
just how important
that stop sign could be.
