Lingering Moments

Thy precious golden leaves of time Only within a child they shine. Lingering moments of a mother Watching her little ones grow A moment of silence Beyond thought of her earthly guidance She knows that yesterdays and tomorrows Love will carry them on through life. As night drifts in reaching out are arms For goodnight hugs in belief that shields them from harm. Her voice is softly spoken she whispers gifts of love will always be there. Hold them closely within your heart to share. She watches them sleep with a feeling of tenderness She kisses her precious little ones with gentleness. Knowing the touch of their smiles the echoes of their laughter lingers. Lifetime moment remembering every part of then from their toes to their fingers All of her joy is fulfillment in itself for nothing can measure. She is a mother capturing moments of pleasures. She feels her children are her priceless treasures. Through laughter and tears In her heart are lingering moments of those years. Those given moments are memories she holds so dear. She is a grandmother looking upon thee gifts of love. That has been held closely to their hearts, she prays for them up above. The precious golden leaves of time Only within thy precious gifts of love they shine.
