‘Stop and take time’ is a phrase to remind Often paced in this race we call life We will face Ourselves stumble and fall far from grace Get upset thrown off track or lose sight of and just plain forget A respite put aside Even small amount set Where our life’s placed on pause No more trying to get We’re not running or chasing This moment is still Left behind is that drive To consume and fulfill For a minute it's tranquil We clear our filled heads Ruminating no more on what’s done and what’s said Meditating A stillness to find inner peace Or get back what’s been lost If not all; just a piece

Stop and Take Time
‘Stop and take time’ is a phrase to remind Often paced in this race we call life We will face Ourselves stumble and fall far from grace Get upset thrown off track or lose sight of and just plain forget A respite put aside Even small amount set Where our life’s placed on pause No more trying to get We’re not running or chasing This moment is still Left behind is that drive To consume and fulfill For a minute it's tranquil We clear our filled heads Ruminating no more on what’s done and what’s said Meditating A stillness to find inner peace Or get back what’s been lost If not all; just a piece
