Take a moment to notice loved ones, for they grow fast,
then time turns everything to dust..
Take a moment to notice their smiles and the children’s laughter
before life turns too serious..
Privately pause at dinner, and notice..
Feel them at the center of your heart, and send thanks
for just a while spent together..
Take a moment, hold the aged; and let their heart beat against yours..
Make your woman laugh at her birthday; knowing, that moment, to be the jewel
of your life..
Extend your wrinkled finger for her tiny fist to hold; for you are going home and she is just landing..
Little moments to notice; that is all we have,
then time turns everything to dust..
