Take Time Take time to smell the flowers To hold a small child’s hand, Feel the gentle breezes As they blow across the land. Take time to watch the sunset And walk upon the shore, Feel the sand between your toes As you have done before. Take the time to listen To the music of your soul, Rest, restore and rediscover The things that make you whole. Take time to splash in puddles And watch the diamond sky. Take time to watch the river As it flows and rushes by. Stand beside the weeping willow With its leaves in the water Take time to sit and quietly talk With your precious son or daughter. Enjoy the time you spend With photographs and books, Remembering the days gone by~ Those special loving looks. ~ Angel of Avalon ~ Playfulness Oh how I wished I could have been as playful as my son, Oh how I wished I would not have had him in my life, Who destroyed my playful drive, Who in its place put his own playful game so full of pain, Oh how I wished it could have been, Now I am a mother myself, and there it is again, that playfulness, full of laughter and fun, And this time I get to be as playful as can be, And all thanks to a miracle, Called Joshie, My playful little son. ~ Angel of Rainbows ~ All graphics are copyright Wings of Love and Light and may not be used without written permission.
