Take Time Poem by Philip Vincent Sanders

Poetry unlocks my mind, it helps me see so clear,
It sharpens up my senses to see the things so dear,
Like children and their joyfulness, loving someone so,
Watching morning breaking, seeing rivers flow,
Feeling the wind rush through my hair, the rain upon my face,
The beauty that surrounds us, the gentleness and grace...
that is always round us, very plain to see,
But so often we rush by, and miss its majesty.
The world today goes faster than it has ever done before,
But isn't it much better just to walk along the shore,
And hear the waves lap gently across the silvery sand,
And maybe take the time just to hold a loved one's hand,
Because the time will come, you know, that they'll no longer be,
And you will feel such sadness as they pass into eternity,
So slow your life occasionally... see what's really there,
Take the time to love them...... take the time to share.
