Take a Moment

Take a moment to understand
Spread your chest and breathe in
Take a moment to reflect
Calm your mind and relax your heart
What you know is true
What you are is the same
Nothing has changed
You're going to fast
You're going to hard
Remember to take the moments
One at a time
Each one is different
Each one changes
You can't control everything
And you can't change
What you can't control
So let it go
It's okay
Take a moment to breathe
Take a moment for you.

Be still with who you are
Change for no one
And if you must change
Do it only for yourself
Strive for peace
Strive for contentment within
And all will be well
Live in the present
Not in the future
Especially not in the past
You can't change it
So you can't live there
You have the power of now
Utilize it
That is your control
That is your empowerment
Seize it
And remember to take the moments
Remember to take care
To take care of you.
