Some folks just don't get it THey never learn or see That one of life's most precious gifts Is theirs, each day, for free! As you work your way through life Take the time to sing some songs; Don't be afraid to speak your mind Or admit you might be wrong! Take the time to pick a flower... Make love or make a friend Play with children, read a book The learning should never end! Take the time to watch a sunset Or walk through a summer shower... There's nothing so important, That it cannot wait an hour!! Take the time to say "I'm sorry!" And learn how to forgive... Let justice, love and loyalty Dictate the way you live! Take the time and use it well, Or one day when you wake... You'll find that when you need it most? There's no time left to take! Dusty Richardson c 2001 |
