Third Place Winner: Jenni Walker

Take Time

Stop, don't rush,
There's enough time to spare.
Take time to sniff a rose,
Take time to care.

Take time to listen,
To the birds in the skies.
Take time to get a glimpse,
And get the sun in your eyes.
Take time to be helpful,
Take time to be kind.
Take time to be cheery,
Take that into mind.

Take time to help someone
Across the street.
Take time to say "Hl!"
To all the people you meet.

Watch the butterflies flutter
As they land and then fly.
Take time to hear
The truth from a lie.

Take a positive stance,
Take a negative glance.
You only get one life,
Only one little chance.

From the time you wake up,
To late at night.
Take time to hear,
The wrong from right.
To the time that you die,
From this very day.
Take time to sniff a rose,
Instead of rushing away.
