Take time to smile - <br />even if it be <br />for a little while. <br /> <br />Take time to laugh <br />so that your worries <br />may reduce to half. <br /> <br />Take time to cry <br />and worry not that <br />your eyes will ever go dry. <br /> <br />Take time to believe <br />that you always can <br />for only then you really can. <br /> <br />Take time to think <br />before you can put down <br />your thoughts in ink. <br /> <br />Take time to eat <br />imagining that <br />your life is one big treat. <br /> <br />Take time to stop <br />or at least slow down your pace. <br />Aren’t you tired of being in this rat race? <br /> <br />Take time to look <br />lovingly at Mother Nature <br />for She is our greatest teacher. <br /> <br />Take time to pray <br />to the Lord each day <br />for never ceasing to give us this lovely day. <br /> <br />Take time to sleep - <br />only then alert and fit <br />will you be able to keep. <br /> <br />Take time to dream <br />each day and night - <br />of green hills and a clear stream. <br /> <br />Take time to live <br />for this is the only chance <br />we’ve got to live. <br /> <br />4 June 2010 <br />10 am<br /><br />Gita Ashok<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-time-to/
