TAKE TIME

Take time
 to know
we’re all different
we feel pain, we bleed the same
happy, sad,  joyous, angry
just moods … phases we navigate through -  together, or alone

Take time
to see
the old man on his verandah
his smile trembles and falters a little
he buried his wife the other day
fifty four years of marriage
not all of it happy but all of it good

Take time
to hear
a bird sing its final note as the eagle swoops in
it would be a pity to
miss life’s melody

Take time
 to talk
why wait till it’s too late
to say
I love you
thanks for believing in me
why did you do that

Take time
to understand
some people need recognition
others a jail sentence
our  individual journeys
changes us
and makes us
who we are now

Take the time
to acknowledge each other

It’s all good
