Why is it true, I've often asked,
though I try to hold them tight. . .
that lovely thoughts and feelings
flutter quickly out of sight?
Remembering the soft and loving touch
of one I held so dear . . .
or the memory of a voice that spoke
the words I longed to hear.
The softest touch, the sweetest kiss . . .
the most precious of my dreams.
I think they're mine . . .
. . . and then they're not . . .
or is that just the way it seems?

Is it God's way of reminding us . . .
to cherish each and every gift,
before it fades from our hearts . . .
then from our memories drifts.
Moment to moment . . .
our lives we live.
Moment to moment . . .
our gifts we give.
So while the moment is yours . . .
while it's still today's,
Hold it and keep it . . .
and pray that it stays.
Pen on paper, remembering the day.
Each smile, each touch . . .
On the paper they'll stay.
When you long to relive a moment in time,
open the pages, . . .
wander the lines.
Each letter, each moment
belongs only to you.
You wrote knowing one day . . .
this is just what you'd do.
Sitting and dreaming . . .
remembering the times
when you took your pen to the
paper and wrote down each line.
Memories escape and often they fade . . .
But there is a place where you hold them
forever they're laid . . .
Because you took pen and paper in hand
and turned them to treasures. . .
not written in sand.
But rather they're scrolled
in this dear, special book . . .
where your heart can go searching
and knows just where to look . . .
. . . .Memories, feelings, laughter and tears.
Moment by moment . . .
they turned into years.
