Precious Moments
PRECIOUS MOMENTS
Yesterday was Saturday
My two princesses
Giggling, jumping, prancing, hopped in my car
We were planning to go one direction, but
Along the way, in front of a church
We were distracted. We decided to stop!
Little hands clasped with mine
Carefully crossed the streets
Curiously combed what the garage sale has to offer!
Wow! 15cents for a treasured moments photo album
Five dollars each for Precious Moments collectible
Porcelain dolls!
I lovingly watched my two princesses
Picked up, embraced , kissed the precious moments dolls
That precious smile imprinted in my heart
As I say: Take everything you want!
After our errands
We headed home
In the corner of my eyes, silently observed them
They took out an old precious moments doll from the cabinet.
They then took their green color sarong
A souvenir from our Hawaii trip last year
They then wrapped themselves with these flowery clothing,
Played house on the sofa.
Precious Moments!
They were pretending the dolls are sisters.
Suddenly, a crashed. One doll fell from the sofa to the floor!
A silence.
One of my princesses said,
Oh the arm is broken. Only the arm!
She is still OK.
Pretends she is on cast
Her hand will heal. Another precious moments!
Those were precious moments treasured in my heart till I’m due to heaven!
