I heard this for the first time when I was like 12, I never forgot it and it was my fav poem for a while. Still is and unfortunately gets more and more true yet not enough people hear, see and know.

Beautiful! Connect without texting, facebooking, gmail, & all social media!! Sharing instagram pictures, posting, tagging, & poking. Life is beautiful! We've lost touch with life by holding & viewing the wrong thing! Thank you for adding this video! The world need to know or be reminded!!!

well done !! if I were to delete my facebook then I wouldn't have nothing to do but think about going to visit my mom or go and make a impact in someone's life... but the time I'm on Facebook in the time I waste instead of seeing my mom and making a change

Take a step back, and take in the experience, for this time will never come again, you might not like it, you might think it wrong, but it’s all an opportunity that just came along, for you to try out, it even gave you the possibility to make this video, where you rime and gave you an opportunity to be creative. So let the other do them, whilst you do you, enjoy enjoy this time before it all to soon gone.
