Don't Wait Till It's Too Late

Don't wait to make that date...don't wait to take that break...don't wait to get in shape...don't wait till it's heartbreak...don't wait to light the cake...don't wait till half-past eight...don't wait to admit mistake...don't wait for sweet embrace...don't wait, for heaven sake...
                                                             
                                                             learn to love and not to hate
                                                           open a door, don't lock a gate 

Time seems to pass more quickly as we grow older but curiously it seems that we start slowing down, allowing us time to study things more deeply; we reflect on our lives; study the flutter of a butterfly; lovingly gaze into the eyes; follow the fanciful flight of the dragonfly; watch the swirling clouds and we're mesmerized; the stars they totally tantalize; and our dreams we lovingly fantasize...

Don't wait to act to protect a small child from harm; don't wait to visit the neighbor across the lawn; don't wait to say "i'm sorry"; build up the courage to meet some one "half-way"; go out of your way to "make someone's day"; learn to become color-blind; open the shades at half-past nine; clear the clutter from your mind; learn an act of simple kind.

                                                        for we all belong to one mankind
