Cherish The Moment
 
The sun is up and the
children are playing
You can hear their laughter
and the words they are saying.

The Easter Egg hunt is on
A stream of eager faces
searching the gardens
amongst the wide open spaces.

The sparkle in their eyes
as they find the secret place
where the eggs have been hidden,
how happy their faces.

These are the precious times
you share with your children
as they grow up.

Cherish the moment as the
opportunity may never pass
your way again.
