Don’t be consumed by life
Don’t let it erode you away,
Don’t let it dominate
The way you are,
And how you go about your day
Take some time for reflection,
Spend a little time just with you,
Give yourself some well earned love
That others may not do,
Take time heal your wounds,
Spend some time refreshing your soul
You have the right to do this,
To help to develop and to grow,
So don’t be consumed by life
And by those around you,
Who place demands on all you do,
Be kind to everybody
But more importantly remember to be kind to you.
