Take time to sniff the flowers

Take time off to sniff the flowers that you pass
along the way
For you never know when you may chance
to see them again,
resplendent & in all their glory
under the suns rays & out in the fields
So, give yourself the time you need
to help yourself grow
as this time just may never come back again

Take time off to read that book
that you tucked away in the book shelf
a long, long time ago
for the greatest secrets lie in there
just waiting to be unveiled
As life moves by, frantic as it may seem,
give yourself the the time you need
to help yourself grow
as this time just may never come back again

Take time off to discover the magic
Of mother nature which enfolds you
take time off to hold that puppy dog
that yelps and nibbles at your little toe
take time off to cuddle that little child
who begs for tender loving care
I urge you to therefore move over,
& give yourself the the time you need
to help yourself grow
as this time may never come back again.
