Take Time To Watch The Sunset Poem by Daniel Sweetnam

Take time my friend I ask
To listen to what I say.
Look around and see
What's been given to you today.

Stop and look around you
To see all that we have.
Watch and listen clearly
There's no reason to be sad.

Why worry all the time
And rush from every place.
Why forget the ones we love
Can't we see what God has made.

A father's much too busy
For all his son so wants to do.
But when that child is older
He may be much to busy for you.

Take time to watch the sunset
It shares the beauty of what God made.
Take time to see the colors
Stop wasting all your days.

Why worry about the things you eat
The things you use and wear.
For these are all just things
Chasing them will bring despair.

God knows all that we need
All we desire, all our cares.
Take time to watch the sunset
For soon it will not be there.

He's given us all so much
All the beauty we could desire.
But first we must take hold of it
To be rid of the darkness and mire.

Take time my friend I say
I'll tell you just once more
Take time to watch the sunset
Let it open your heart's door.

Always follow its example
In everything you do.
No matter how busy life becomes
Stay loving, honest and true.

It never seems to worry
About what tomorrow may bring.
It makes the most of everyday
And gives glory to God the King.

Now if you forget my friend
About all that I have said.
Take time today to be thankful
For tomorrow you maybe dead.
