| If We Took The Time If we took the time to appreciate health and friends and talent And shared with others what we come to own If we took the time to give some moments on cold and rainy days To someone who is ill, old or alone If we took the time to treat our neighbors like relatives and friends Looking for the good in all of men If we took the time to put ourselves in other people’s shoes Giving what we wish to gain from them If there was no great hurry in everything we do We would see the tears of those abused If we took the time to understand the differences in people Instead of criticizing other’s views If we used a little patience with those who do us wrong If we who own but little were content If we took the time for all these things the world we’d help to make Would be well worth each moment that we spent |
| Imagination Imagination is children’s answer to things they cannot guess; The dreams that lead to planning and doing all that insures happiness. It’s a game that’s played for the sake of fun; wearing your parent‘s clothes; Dolls that have tea with you, puddles to jump through, stories in books and shows Imagination; the key an actor needs to play his part; The thing that helps the words come out to say what’s in your heart It can change a small possession into a luxury It can take you to places you miss and those you may never get to see It brings us near the ones we love when they are far away It warms the cold and cools the very hottest summer day Imagination is why we grow up learning as we go Helping us to solve life’s problems; expressing the love we know When we decide in childhood what we would like to be When we take steps to make all of our dreams reality Each dream itself, and all these things counted one by one The greatest gift, next to that of life and love is imagination! |
