i found this while reading through a web site about women's talking circles and liked it thus the desire to share

Take Time
Take time to live-
It is what life is for;
Take time for justice-
It is the beginning of peace;
Take time to look afresh-
It will fill you with surprises;
Take time to search-
It is the secret of perpetual youth;
Take time to laugh-
It is music to the soul;
Take time to pray-
It is the greatest power on earth;
Take time for solitude-
It revives the spirit;
Take time with the earth-
It speaks of harmony and balance;
Take time at home-
It renews the heart;
Take time to sow-
It gives perspective on life;
Take time to reap-
It brings gratitude;
Take time to heal-
It is full of hope;
Take time to love-
It is the reason for living.
