If I’m not careful my schedule gets filled,
Gets packed up with items that seem quite worthwhile.
I neglect to take time to just pause and be still,
A time to reflect, to be grateful and smile.
It can easily happen, that holiday rush,
Decorations and shopping, folks darting around.
But it’s also important, that quiet and hush,
Allowing some time for the soul with no sound.
A pause to reflect and consider the past
Can help me to focus on what I hold dear.
What to me is important? What really will last?
Will the memories I’m making be cherished next year?
Regardless how cluttered my schedule each day,
It’s important to pause, to reflect, and to pray.
