I was struck by the beauty and simplicity of the lyrics, felt they needed a melody to match. After I started writing music I realized the song was going to be quite long as written, so I picked four verses that summed up everything (it's almost 5 minutes), the entire poem is great and should be read! Sorry the sound and pic are bad, just using what I have a low quality mic and webcam.

Words by PoemsbyTom
Music by Rebekah Ann Curtis

Oh Claridalia...
stop and smell the flowers
This world is not a race
Go ahead and slow
down your pace
Why not smell
the apple trees?
Before they lose
all of their leaves
Oh Claridalia...
stop and smell the flowers
Why not gaze
at the clouds overhead
Ever wonder if they
are really angels' beds?
Why not sit and
admire the sunset?
Before the sun gives way
to the man in the moon instead
Oh Claridalia...
stop and smell the
Feel the cool rain
before you run for
See the spark of lightening
Hear the roar of thunder
Why not sit
puzzled in mystery?
Before everything
has been discovered
Oh Claridalia...
stop and smell the
Autumn's moon
is rising up ahead
Our earth and winter's
will soon be wed
Why not stop and
smell the flowers
Before you have forgotten
all that I've said
