My Treasured Moments

Treasured moments... I'm trying to recall.
Every day was a treasured moment for me.
Age brings a barrier, sometime I feel like I'm climbing a wall,
But today I'm near the top, reaching for a memory.

My memories of you are the most treasured moments of mine
I was blessed beyond belief when you were sent to me
First two boys, then two girls, my world was just sublime
Not having any sister, I never realized what joys you'd be

The memories are coming fast, I have to catch them quick!
I see two little girls... one with dark brown eyes and one with eyes of blue.
But this is more than memories... is my mind playing a trick?
My treasured moments haven't gone, they're still here with you.

I can't remember all of them, that's true,
But I'll hold on to new ones I get along the way
And when you look at me and say, "Mom, I love you"
I have another treasured moment to hold another day.

You've blessed me with two more little girls,
One brown eyed girl and one with eyes of blue
They wrap their arms around me and give me kisses too
And every time I look at them, my darlings, I see you.

So... the heck with that old wall... my climbing days are done.
I'll find more treasured moments with each and every day
I have four lovely children, and eight little ones,
And it's ok if I forget some things... what counts is just today.

I'm at an age where I can laugh at all life has to give
Some good, some bad, I think I've seen it all
I'll have my treasured moments every day that I shall live
A little boy and girl with brown eyes and a boy and girl with eyes of blue.

Age may take some memories, but treasured moments always stay,
Another treasured moment fills my heart each time I look at one of you
My special girls, my grown up daughters, wives and mothers today
But in my treasured moments...
I see a little girl with brown eyes and one with eyes of blue

Joni and Jennifer, I Love You!
....Mom
