“Take the Time” is an uplifting and reflective poem that encourages us to slow down, appreciate life’s blessings, and make room for the moments that give life meaning. Each line gently reminds us of the importance of joy, kindness, faith, and presence.
Take the Time
Take the time to smile; it will brighten any day.
Take the time to give, in a cheerful way.
Take the time to cry; it helps cleanse the soul.
Take the time to dream; set some lofty goals.
Take the time to think; it’s the source of power.
Take the time to see, the beauty of a flower.
Take the time to read; it is food for the mind.
Take the time to walk; leave your troubles behind.
Take the time to play, to help you stay young.
Take the time to speak; learn to hold your tongue.
Take the time to work; give your life some worth.
Take the time to pray; the greatest force on earth.
Take the time to notice, when to help others.
Take the time to care, for each and one another.
Take the time to laugh; it gives the heart a lift.
Take the time to love; it is God’s greatest gift.
Take the time to clean, the world from the grime.
Take the time to live; live to take the time.
