                                      You know just what I speak of!
                                            Give more of your time-
                                         Try and give the gift of love!

                                               
                                               Now time after time
                                     Keep these timely things in mind!
                                               Now time after time
                                          Do be gentle - Do be kind!
                                               Now time after time
                                      Speak comfort and speak peace!
                                               Now time after time
                                      May your best of times increase!
