A Time to Treasure

  	      A time to exit the race
                 A time to slacken the pace

              A time to inter the clock
                 the car too – take a walk  

              A time to savor every bite
                 to eat healthy and right

              A time to call on old friends
                 to thrill to the good times, to make amends

              A time to bounce grandkids, nieces and nephews on the knee
                  A time to play Pattycake, Pattycake, Pretty Please  

              A time to treasure, like no other
                  with your partner, spouse, father and mother
