Vow to cherish, each simple moment, For this time is the greatest gift ever sought Love your children, that you never lament Over words and deeds, never wrought
Catch every little tear; like diamonds in your hand And remember, little things break their hearts Seek to truly know them; to truly understand Their tiny worries, through gentle smiles depart.
Even their scattered toys-- are a joyful reminder That they are there, and happily at play, Even their demands, proudly declare, They have their own minds, and say;
Their little bodies, so perfect a display; Their hands that playfully touch your face, Or, pull your hand to say, "come along and play;" In a magical, and wondrous place.
Their voices-- instruments pure and true Their words, a melody most sincere, When they peer in your eyes and say, "I love you," And you know it's the truest thing, you'll ever hear.
These are the things, that will make them whole, That they will carry forever in their memory This is they way your true story will be told, By loving and treasuring your family.
