Why don't people stop and think
Why don't they ever see...
That one of life's most perfect gifts
Is theirs each day, for free?
Take the time to watch a sunset
Or walk through a summer shower
There's nothing so important
That it cannot wait an hour...
Take the time to say a prayer
Make love or make a friend,
Play with children, read a book
The learning shouldn't end.
Take time to say "I'm sorry"
And learn how to forgive.
Let justice, love and loyalty
Dictate the way you live.
Take the time and use it well
Or one day when you wake;
You'll find that when you need it most
There's no time left to take!!
