Take Your Time

Take your time
Take your time a moment in life
To live not, but in your expectation
Travel down the road, and up the stream
Who said that beauty is the one far?
Count every block that you pass
And take time to see the rising sun and the moon.
Take time it may be the only one have
Be at best phase with yourself, don’t hold grudges
Or wonder about yesterday, no worry about today
Just be yourself, and leave the rest be.
Pamper yourself a little but forget not
What is like to endure in poverty, to live with a disease?
Take time to learn others suffering, take time to show compassion
Take time and reflect everything to yourself, and ask
What will it be for me, if I was the one lying there?
Take your time; take time it may be all that you have

Thank you for sharing this lovely poem Khayelihle, we should be grateful that we are alive , that is what you reminded me but most importantly I love the idea that you are also highlighting that as I live I should also be considerate of the beings that I am sharing this world with, that is a very important character trait that I believe we all should possess! thank you : )
