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 William L Pickard 2022.
