Now take a moment to ponder, <br />What it is you really want. <br />Is that path that you've been running on, <br />Of timeless, daily, fruitless flaunts? <br /> <br />Are you really at the place in life? <br />That it now fills your every need? <br />Or are you so focused on getting the prize? <br />That you've now failed to succeed? <br /> <br />Sometimes it's not the prize we seek, <br />But a reason just to be. <br />A part of God's bigger picture and plan, <br />The one He painted for us eventually to see. <br /> <br />Life seems to be out of reach sometimes, <br />And then, seems so close at hand. <br />But if you're gain becomes your purpose lost, <br />Of what race have you then ran? <br /> <br />Take some time and take a breath, <br />Pulling all into your lungs. <br />Life is not that serious my friend, <br />And with God, much easier made to run!<br /><br />Linda Winchell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-a-moment-3/
