possessive + for the taking is an idiom that means "freely available {to you|him|her|them|us}".

I'm getting a new tennis racket. My old one is yours for the taking, if you want it.

P.S. Don't be misled, by online sources which cite the Cambridge Dictionary of American Idioms, into thinking that this is an AmE idiom only. It is also used in BrE.
