What does this phrase really mean to me?
I will try my best to explain it and I hope you agree.
God wants us to love and to try to help everyone,
But we can’t do this if we ourselves become undone.
So what should this phrase mean to all of you?
There has to be times when your needs are tended to.
Listening to music or a trip to the mountains for a rest,
Going for a walk on the beach is what I like the best.
We need to go outside to run and play in the sun,
Wait until tomorrow to get anymore of your work done.
Just stop for a while and take a time out for you,
This is really something we all need to learn to do.
If someone says there is something they need you to do,
You should say no and politely get your message through.
I could help you tomorrow is what you need to say,
You see, I really need a time out for me today.
Remember this life lesson it is important to you,
Be good to your spirit, is what needs to get through.
This is the way God wants it and He has the final say,
Take that time out you need for you, do it today.
