I lost a word yesterday,
Unguarded, from my tongue;
It slipped into the atmosphere -
Then trouble had begun.

A dozen others followed it;
They filled the room with grief,
No matter then what word was said,
It  could not bring relief.

If only I had stopped that word
Before it crossed my lips,
My day had been a happy one -
And sweet with fellowships.

I think I wasted yesterday,
Hurt self as well as friend,
Today I want to watch my words,
And let not one offend.

Thank you, Gertrude

Take time to think,
It is the source of power;

Take time to play,
It is the secret of perpetual youth.

Take time to read,
It is the  fountain of wisdom.

Take time to pray,
It is the greatest power on earth.

Take time to be friendly,
It is the road to happiness.

Take time to laugh,
It is the music of the soul.

Take time to give,
It is too short a day to be selfish.

Take time to work,
It is the price of success.

Take time to do  charity,
It is the key to heaven.

Take time to love and be loved,
It is a God given privilege.
