Take Time To...
Take time to smell the roses,
Take time to smell the roses,
To experience a tiny moment in time,
To create a sensory image
With beauty that's all sublime.
Take time to enjoy your loved ones
The family you cherish with your heart
Be thankful for such special moments
Cherish them like treasured art.
Take time to say I love you,
To wrap your arms in a big embrace,
Show compassion and understanding
Wipe the tears from someone's face.
Take time to kiss your children
To guide them toward decency and light,
To teach them to follow their dreams,
To set goals they keep in sight.
Take time to say "Thank You"
To all who offer their supporting love
But most of all give thanks to God
For the millions of blessings sent from above.
