"Take Time"

It seems so hard to understand,
As I look across the land,
That all I view belongs to me,
I ought to take more time to see.
The distant hills and mountains high,
The rolling clouds and bright blue sky,
No one can take these views from me,
As long as I have eyes to see.
A timid deer with a haunting look,
Who stands refreshed by yonder brook,
Knows not that he belongs to me,

Oh, what a thrilling sight to see!
The song of birds so gay and clear,
That fill the morning air with cheer,
And fragrant flowers of every hue,
That stand erect bedecked with dew;
All these and more belong to me,
If I but use my eyes to see.

When evening shadows gather night,
And twinkling stars light up the sky,
I hear my Master say to me,
"I made it all for you to see!"
My heart grows warm with faith and pride,
To know that He is by my side.

Take a minute of your lifetime
to enjoy a pretty bloom,
Pick a rose from nature's garden,
It will brighten up your room.

Be not haste in all your doings,
as you hurry through the day,
But enjoy what God gives freely;
Smell the Roses while you may.

~Bill Carr ~

Take time to smell the flowers,
And hear the bird's sweet song;
Take time to watch a rippling stream,
And the coming of the dawn.
Take time to watch the bluebird
Flash his colors on the wing;
Take time to hear the crickets
In the evening as they sing.

Take time to see the rainbow
Stretch across the sky;
Take time to say, "I love you"
Before another day goes by.

Take time to see the sunset
At the closing of the day,
And then take time to thank the Lord
As you kneel and pray.
