TAKE TIME!
Take Time!
Take time, dear Mother, to kneel and pray,
To ask the Father for strength today,
Take time to enjoy the morning sunrise,
And lift your mind beyond the skies.
Take time, dear Mother, for each little thing
That only babies and children bring,
Take time to go when your child says,
“Come, see dear Mama what I have done."
Take time to teach them faith in God,
And when it's needed to use the rod,
Take time to teach each child to pray,
And meet their Maker every day.
Take time to teach each child to share,
And patient be, to love, to care,
Take time to show them how to work,
To do their tasks and never shirk.
Help each child be prompt and neat,
And do a job till it's complete,
Be sure that "No" means only "No"
For they can tell if it's not so.
Take time to teach each child to sing,
For song real joy in life can bring,
Take time to tell another story
That points the way to home in glory.
