Pause, Think

Pause,
Please pause.
Now think,
Think hard,
Think a li'l longer.
Think of past, future
Think of death.
Ask, ask yourself,
What it's you're running after,
If it's really worth your time,
And your leisure.
You have sacrificed so much
To be at the top,
To be rich and famous.
I say, That's fine...
As long as you don't regret
Tomorrow, or 25 years from today,
For all the things you missed in life.
