Take Time

Take time to think;
               it is the source of your power.

Take time to play;
               it is the secret of your youth.

Take time to read;
               it is the foundation of your knowledge.

Take time to dream;
               it will take you to the stars.

Take time to laugh;
                it truly is your best medicine.

Take time to pray;
               it is your touch with almighty God.

Take time to reach out to others;
              it will give your life significance.
