PRECIOUS MOMENTS

A raindrop on a rose petal

That holds a world within

A shimmer in the summer air

Is where it will begin

A sparkle in your lover's eye

When they look upon your face

A promise in a single glance

Says you're in the perfect place

A whisper dancing in the wind

Sharing secrets, hopes & dreams

A song upon the ocean waves

So beautiful it gleams

A smile on a newborns lips

So innocent & pure

A crease upon a mother's brow

For the worry she will endure

Such precious little moments

Suspended, held in time

See them as they are

Real, not a pantomime

They are there just for you

A treasure chest of gems

When you're feeling sad

From here your memory stems

& then as you remember

A smile begins to appear

All these little precious moments

Are there to hold you near

They will keep you warm & dry

When it's cold & wet outside

& when you're lost among despair

They give you somewhere safe to hide

So do what makes you happy

Go dancing in the rain

Lose yourself in fantasy

Let it ease the pain

Don't waste your moments

Make as many as you can

Live, laugh, learn, explore

& remember how it all began
