Take Time
Take time for musing. Take time for calm.
Take time for choosing every unguent balm.
Take time for praying. Take time for hope.
Take time for playing on the slippery slope.
Take time for healing. Take time for rest.
Take time for dealing with a trifling quest.
Take time for laughing. Take time for naught.
Take time for quaffing comedies of thought.
Take time for prancing. Take time for joy.
Take time for dancing with Helen of Troy.
Take time for cruising. Take time for fun.
Take time for schmoozing under ocean sun.
Take time for being. Take time for care.
Take time for seeing everything out there.
