The Precious Moments
Precious are the pleasant moments…
when the world is bright and gay…
times when everything is rosy…
and I welcome each new day…
very dear are laughing hours…
periods when eyes can’t cry…
I wish they would live forever…
for they keep my spirits high…
minutes spent in love’s enchantment…
are the moments heaven sent…
full of tenderness and comfort…
sparkling with wonderment…
eventide when day is over…
hours of contented thrills…
listening to glad concertos…
played by thrush and whippoorwills…
childhood days when hearts are happy…
without worry, void of care…
these are sweet and blissful moments…
priceless and beyond compare…
peaceful hours spent in praying…
asking for the strength to plod…
times like these could not be better…
talking over things with God…
all these make for golden memories…
that no trial or grief can sever…
yes, they are the precious moments…
that will glow and live forever.
