TAKE TIME...

Take time to smell the roses
For their beauty does not last
Take time to hear the laughter
As you are thinking of the past

As you gently kiss his lips
Take time to look at blue skies
And realize that is what you miss

Take time to say "I love you"
When you know that love is real
Take time to say "thank you"
When someone helps you to feel

Take time to pray to God
'cause he can really help you out
Take the time to listen
That is what it is all about

Take time to know that life is real
And we all go through this
Ups and downs and all arounds...
It's a part of this...

Life is a full circle
Full of bumps and turns...
But in the center is a feeling:
A feeling of want
A feeling of hope
A feeling of celebration

I am glad that I'm alive!
