Save The Wonder

Instead of being in such a rush
I wish I`d stopped - a moments hush
My babies now are all full grown
If back then I`d only known
I would have counted every minute
Treasured moments deep within it
Marked each tiny little hurdle
Listened close to each sweet gurgle
Remembered every little step
Smiles and dimples - cheeks when wet
All the many steps as taken
Each achievement in the making
If I had a wish just mine
I would wander back in time
Gather all those precious things
Babies and young children brings
Youth is busy - does not stay
To count the memories on the way
Only age can teach us how
We should save the wonder now
Before we know it songs are sung
Children - adults - every one
So listen youth to what I say
Nothing`s better than today
Time will pass and you`ll grow old
And when your story`s nearly told
You will wish - yes just like me
You`d saved it all - in memory
