Take the Time
Sometimes when life falls apart at the seams
Just sit by yourself and begin to daydream
Think back, if you can, to pleasurable times
Chill for a while and rest the mind
Daydream about life and the people you love
Gaze at cotton clouds and blue skies above
Think back to your youth when times were good
Return in time, if only you could
Sit by a tree with wheat straw in hand
Enjoy Mother Nature's beautiful land
Fresh air and the smell of flowers
Sunbaked land and misty rain showers
Forget your troubles while you can
Enjoy your surroundings and colorful land
A beautiful day can clear the mind
Of past problems and reckless times
It's a sunfilled day, time to relax
Settle in on an upbeat track
Nothing dark or grey appears in view
How you proceed depends on you
So when this poem ends in a while
I hope the words create a smile
Take this at heart as you go on your way
You decide what happens today
