Precious moments are often seen

In the smile of a child, or a hug, or a dream.

Precious moments like words on a page

Remain for people to remember and praise.

Precious moments like the day you first met,

Or held your first child, or second or sometimes your pet.

Precious moments as you watch them grow,

You hold to them gently, but then let them go.

Precious moments as you watch them leave,

Another part of their journey, just one you won't see.

Precious moments you see from afar

As your child continues to become who they are.

Precious moments are the best things in life,

As you see your child become husband or wife.

Precious moments come and they go,

For each one you get you always know,

For each precious moment you get in your life,

Your children will learn from to carry through strife.

These precious moments are lessons learned,

And so it continues each moment earned.
