Linda Winchell - 'Take A Moment'

Now take a moment to ponder,
What it is you really want.
Is that path that you've been running on,
Of timeless, daily, fruitless flaunts?

Are you really at the place in life?
That it now fills your every need?
Or are you so focused on getting the prize?
That you've now failed to succeed?

Sometimes it's not the prize we seek,
But a reason just to be.
A part of God's bigger picture and plan,
The one He painted for us eventually to see.

Life seems to be out of reach sometimes,
And then, seems so close at hand.
But if you're gain becomes your purpose lost,
Of what race have you then ran?

Take some time and take a breath,
Pulling all into your lungs.
Life is not that serious my friend,
And with God, much easier made to run!
