Gifts That Remain Take time to work, it is the price of success. Take time to think, it is the source of power. Take time to relax, it is the secret of youth. Take time to read, it is the foundation of wisdom. Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness. Take time to dream, it is hitching your wagon to a star. Take time to love and be loved, it is a God- given privilege. Take time to look around, it is too short a day to be selfish. Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul. Take time in illness, it is the warning of nature and test of love. Take time to grow old, it is the master work of wisdom. Take time to live today, it is the only time in your hand. NEW LIFE      If it’s ever so small the part you take, the world has need of you. Be it big or little the effort you make, the world has need of you, If it's only a thought you give by the way. If it's only love's word you pause to say. It is a part that nobody else can play, so the world has need of you. By your smile you can change another's life; By a word you can bring peace out of strife; Then lift your head and never say die; Count every blessing, stop every sigh. Get busy... don't let a chance slip by, for the world has need of you. By Bridgette Christensen, West Bengal, India
