Take A Moment Today

Have you taken a moment today
To think of the people important to you
Taken the time to talk to them
Or organise a catch-up that’s long overdue

Have you hugged a loved one today
Or simply said “ I love you”
Told them how much they mean to you
Or reached out to someone who’s feeling blue?

When was the last time you bought flowers
Or a gift for no reason whatsoever 
Given a genuine compliment
Or did something special together 

Have you extended the hand of kindness
Of unconditional love and support
Don’t leave it until next week or month
As life is way to short….

So, please just take a moment today
For the special ones that matter to you
An honest, kind word or gesture
That’s all you need to do !

Your poem causes much reflection Deb, an examination of how much we perhaps neglect those small yet important ways we can express our devotion, love and care. Well put together, bubbling up out of that good soul of yours my friend. Thoughtful and compassionate. Cheers, Paul

wat a lovely poem Deb, I met my bestie for coffee and gave her a huge box of chocolates - she's been through a tough time with her hubby having emergency treatment in the Uk - it sure lifted her spirits! Hugs Jan xx today we are walking with the charity we support for people with sight issues - we act as guiding arms. I love doing it:-) hugs jan xx

I must admit, I think I'm quicker to criticize than I am to compliment. Thanks for the wonderful reminder to be a better person. Many of us need to read this poem every day.
