It is the music of the soul.
Take time to think.
It is the source of power.
Take time to play.
It is the source of perpetual youth.

Take time to be friendly.
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to give.
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work.
It is the price of success.

There are choirs singing in your head.
If you listen, you will hear the music.
It is the song of angels.
