Take Time

Take the time

Though your list is long
And cares weigh down
Of all still left to do

Take the time

Though it is late
And you are tired
More tired than you can imagine

Take the time
Anyway

Forget the past
Forget tomorrow

And drive a few miles
Past your house
Your cares
Your past
Until the road bends
And you see
In the great dark starless sky
The perfect
Yellow
Moon.

(It never looks as good
Through the thick trees hanging over
Or through the rear view mirror.)
