Captured Moments

When the sun shines upon you, take the sun rays within
You never know when it will be dark or where to begin
And when you see the stars sparkle in the night,
Oh my friend hold on, just hold on very tight…
Not knowing when the clouds will take them out of sight
Moments like these lift the soul, in ways you need
Growing like a flower, from the beginning planted seed
Treat life like a garden with nourishment and care
Because every memory captured can make a dim day fair

I'm holding on tight to today in Chicago, Heidi. About 70 degrees, mostly sunny, low humidity. Ah, Spring! Maybe one more great today tomorrow. Hope so. Of course, we should be sending it on to New Hampshire, special delivery! Smiles, Gershon
