TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS

TAKE TIME

Take time to smell the flowers

To hold a small child’s hand,

Feel the gentle breezes

As they blow across the land.

Take time to watch the sunset

And walk upon the shore,

Feel the sand between your toes

As you have done before.

Take the time to listen

To the music of your soul,

Rest, restore and rediscover

The things that make you whole.

Take time to splash in puddles

And watch the diamond sky.

Take time to watch the river

As it flows and rushes by.

Stand beside the weeping willow

With its leaves in the water

Take time to sit and quietly talk

With your precious son or daughter.

Enjoy the time you spend

With photographs and books,

Remembering the days gone by~

Those special loving looks.

View the dewdrops on the roses ~

See the daffodils in spring

Watch the moonlight on the garden,

See the birds upon the wing.

Take time to see the best in people

Relish your days and hours

Enjoy the seasons given to you ~

Take time to smell the flowers.
