The Lollipop Moment

Take the Time You took the time to stop and chat As you passed by today, To jest a bit in pure delight As you went on your way. You took the time to lend a hand When I was faced with care, To give the strength of fellowship To comfort and to share. You took the time for words of praise That warmed me through and through, You took the time to be a friend So patient, kind and true.
