Take Some Time

Take some time to smell the flowers,
As you walk the paths of life.
Take some time to ease the tensions,
From the challenges and strife.

Take some time to hear the birds sing,
As they usher in the dawn.
Though the day will just be emerging,
Too soon it will be gone.

Take some time to watch a sunrise,
Now and then a sunset too.
Just be sure that seeking pleasure,
Isn't all that you ever do.

Take some time to count your blessings,
Though you feel they're not that great.
You will find they're more abundant,
Than you thought, at any rate.

Take some time to banish hatred,
When and where you can.
Just detest man's evil ways,
And not your fellow man.

Take some time to love your ,
Every moment you are free.
The benefits exceed,
A university degree.

Take some time to love your neighbor,
And even more important still,
Take some time to love yourself,
Or not many others will.

And if you don't like that image
Of yourself that others see,
Take some time to make some changes,
Be the best that you can be.

Take some time to help another,
Who will need a hand.
You will find the satisfaction
Leave you feeling sort of grand.

Take some time to live in virtue,
In the best ways that is known,
And respect the rights of others,
As equal to your own.

Take some time to just appreciate
The fact that you are here,
And to that higher power
And to trust it without fear.

If you do these things with diligence
You will eventually be glad.
If your don't attempt to do them,
You may one-day wish you had.
