Each Golden Blessed Moment
To my lovely grandchild Maddie on her 26th birthday 6/7/14 Happy birthday darling love always xxxx
My lovely lass is twenty-six
How time is flying past
Darling please don`t waste it
And make each moment last
Life is funny how it turns
And leaves us getting old
And only then the years between
Turn into solid gold
If I could live it all again
I would live it all brand new
So my darling Maddie
These words I say to you
Are words I know because I lived
And sometimes did not see
That all that time was passing by
And it was changing me
Youth is just a moment
So very fast and fleeting
Sadly we are unaware
Do not see old age peeping
So we take for granted
That time is standing still
But darling it is moving
Like a ball being rolled downhill
Birthdays are a special day
When we review the truth
That we are getting older
So should not waste our youth
Be happy and be healthy
Be caring and be kind
Then my darling Maddie
I think that you will find
When looking back behind you
You see such fun and play
Have a wonderful twenty-six
A lovely, lovely day
But keep it in your memory
Save it in your heart
Each golden blessed moment
Before you have to part
Put them in a corner
To take out now and then
And baby I know you will find
You live it all again
Happy birthday darling
May angels be your guide
Though you may not see them
They`re always by your side
