Take time to smell the lilacs
And feel the warm bright sun,
Take time to look at rainbows
Don't wait 'til work is done.
There'll always be a cobweb
Some fingermarks or rust
Weeds to pull, a lawn to mow
And something gathering dust
We must remember lilacs
Bloom just once a year
And you can see a rainbow
Only when it's here.
Shirley Harvey
