FAMILY MOMENTS

FAMILY MOMENTS

Cherish each moment in time

With those in your family so dear,

Always be sure to support them

And let them know of your care.

Take time to say “I love you”

“I value the things you do”

“The times are very special

When I spend them with you.”

Be sure that your children know

How very much they mean,

Give them roots to anchor them

And wings to fly to their dream.

Be sure to make that phone call,

Or send that birthday card,

Remember to apologise

Even though you find it hard.

Take your Mother shopping,

Sit with your Father a while,

Listen to the things they say,

Cherish every smile.

Remember the time they spent

Teaching you the things you know,

Recall the lessons learned from them

That you “reap whatever you sow”.

Maintain a sense of family

Reach out and touch a hand,

Be very brave and very strong

As beside each other you stand,

Spend time with your siblings

Recalling your childhood hours,

Be kind and gentle with each other

Take time to smell the flowers.
