IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK



Is it too much to ask for a little time;
Time to meditate on life's precious gifts,
To hug a baby, pinch a cheek,
Roller skate, ride a bike,
Giggle at a monkey, pet a dog,
Take a trip, read a book,
Touch her love, be caressed,
Meditate on a work of art, appreciate a piece by Mozart.
Is it too much to ask for a little time;
Time to catch a second breath to receive
A pat on the back for a job well done,
Someone to listen when she needs a friend,
Taken to a movie, wined and dined,
Spend a day at a mall, give a friend a call,
Watch a sunrise, awed by a sunset,
Smell some roses, count the stars,
Catch a glimpse of a shy child, bake a cake for a
Small child.
It's not enough to dream and fantasize,
All these gifts are hers the moment
She realizes--the price is too great to
Let these treasures vaporize.
