Take the Time- A Poem By David Ritter

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.
