Douglas Ace Poet Rhyme

Take the Time

How fortunate, the ones who pause
and slowly take the time
to look at nature's scenery
and see such beauty sublime.

It doesn't matter what season it is,
there's beauty beyond compare.
Such mastering of creation is His,
made for us with loving care.

You do yourself wrong when you don't take the time
to see what was put here for you.
Look around and as your eyes climb,
just gaze at the sky so blue.

Know that your days upon this earth
are precious, yet numbered and few.
And in taking the time do you see the worth
of all that was put here for you ?

Belinda Parish February 12, 2009 at 7:16 PM Love this write. So much of God's handy work (nature) to see and most people are in a hurry and don't even notice it. It's a shame isn't it.

Laurie Ginn February 11, 2009 at 3:46 AM I so totally agree. I have to stop everything at times and go sit by the river or under a tree. My heart feels refreshed and restored when I do. I really like this. Laurie
