| PRECIOUS MOMENTS |
| I have some little people with fine hair and rosy cheeks They giggle and they squeal quite often as they speak They climb on me each morning and chase me through the day Asking lots of questions and begging me to play It's easy to get busy with the things I need to do Forgetting that their playful days are fleeting and too few O,Lord, please help me notice what's important and what's not To cherish precious moments and to mother as I ought. Please keep me from distractions that would rob me of the joys That you given me through my precious girls and boys Help me teach them of Your ways, this is my highest aim, I long to see my children live to glorify Your name! O, help me be the model that would draw them to Your throne And make them a haven that would turn their hearts to home In these fast and fleeting years, please help me not to miss The treasures that you give me in each cuddle and each kiss When I am old and looking back at every blessed year I will rejoice that I was there to share each joy and tear. by Val Hallaran |
