Do You Have The Time?

Do you have the time,
to smell the rose on the bush,

as you pass by?

Do you have the time,

to wipe the tear from the eyes,

of a crying child?

Do you have the time,

to cook a homemade meal,

for a hungrey soul?

Do you have the time,

to say, "I love you"

to the sad and lonely widow?

Do you have the time,

to pray for forgiveness

for a dying world?

Do you have the time,

to look beside you

and give a smile and say hello?

Do you have the time,

to visit the hospital,

and bring flowers to cheer?

Do you have the time,

to take care of yourself,

and see a doctor at least once a year?

Do you have the time,

to reflect on the days

of times that have pasted you by?

Do you have the time,

to correct a wrong, so forgiveness doesn't die?

Do you have the time?

Please take the time!
