Precious Moments

Precious Moments

If I had taken a picture

For every time you smiled

I would have a creation of love

That would span across the miles

If I had known this small hand

Would give my heart wings

I would have held it more often

And forgotten lesser things

If I had imagined that there were angels

With silken flowing hair

That gave God’s love freely...

By simply breathing our air

I would have hugged you more often

And frowned so much less

I would have dipped your dreams in chocolate

In spite of the mess

I would have understood that smiles are hugs

We give our broken hearts

And it doesn’t matter when you finish

Only that you start

I would have seen that life isn’t

Always what we thought

And our souls cannot be purchased

And God’s love cannot be bought

I would have lined your path with rainbows

And little pots of gold

And given you more love and peace

Than your little hands could hold

I will not feel bad

About the things that I regret

About all of the goals

That I still haven’t met

Instead I will give you

All I have and hold dear

This is the knowledge

That God led you here

So beautiful soul

Wherever your heart lands

I want you to know

That I finally understand

God has no boundaries

And has no sense of time

But out few precious moments

Are priceless treasures of mine
