Vanishing Moments

Don’t let a life time slip away
Don’t let a moment go unnoticed
Hold on closely to each day
Let   your heart and mind be focused
Make every happy moment last
let  each sad one pass you by
Beware of darkness  and shadows cast
 Spread your wings  to fly
Dance to the music of your heart
Guided by a caring soul
Embrace this youthful feeling
Eternal children do not grow old
Laughter is the medicine
That massages   all sadness away
While gentle smiles will maintain
The beauty of your day
Don’t let a heart beat pass you by
Live deep with each   breath you take
Share all the goodness you have inside
With every friend you make
Stop to smell the dandelions
When you cannot find a rose
For all beauty in the right light
will nurture all that grows
Let every cloud amuse you
Even in a clear blue sky
 Your day is forever changing
Don’t let it  pass you by
