Time To Spare
Free running brook, run happily,
Man is too busy to notice you,
except a few,
Who have some time to spare.
Blossoming tree, shed some of your fragrance on me,
Remind me of my youthful days,
and springtime ways,
when I had time to spare.
Clouds in the sky, keep drifting leisurely by,
Help me to take the time to see,
all of life's beauty surrounding me,
Help me make sure to have some time to spare.
Giggling girl, and boy with windblown curl,
Teach me how in the moment to live,
Help me to learn how not to give,
A single thought to any future care.
God of my heart, help me to set time apart,
Time to reflect on your beautiful ways,
And reasons to serve You all my days,
Help me to see why I need time to spare.
