It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.

Take time to pray.
It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take time to love and be loved.
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.

Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.
