They do not find time to be in the midst of nature and enjoy its beauty. People do not pay\u00a0 attention to the little things in nature that\u00a0 give us immense happiness.

We are so caught up in our work routine and mundane schedule that we do not know how to break away. We should slow down and take a look at things around us because life goes by fast sometimes, the mind should be free of work stress so that we can enjoy the beauty of the little pleasures of life. We all get so caught up in the ways of the world that we become emotionally blind to what is going on we are not alert to our surrounding. We focus so much on the things that bring us trouble and not enough time on what makes us happy. Life becomes meanings less if we do not learn to set aside time for ourselves and our families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Answer the following questions in three or four sentences each<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.What do you see in a garden?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Ans:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong> We see\u00a0 many plants, trees, and flowers.

Comment on the title of the poem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">Ans<\/span><\/strong>: The phrase no time is used throughout the poem as an indication of mankind\u2019s dilemma. The phrase no time rings like a bell that takes the reader through a number of occasion on which the excuse of\u00a0 no time prevents one from enjoying life to the full.
