         Precious Memories

        I look and see it there
        gently clinging to my wrist.
        The delicate gold bracelet
        given to me with such love.
5      My husband on this special day                                  
        is so sappy and sweet.
        My baby so tiny and new helps to 
        celebrate this first Mother's Day.
        As time passed the bracelet has seen it all.
10   From the first step, to the first words uttered,        
        first bike ride, T-Ball games, school and dates,
        the bracelet is always nearby.
        Time passed in a blink of an eye.
        I've seen him grow and change.

15    Now tall and blonde with eyes green as                  
        emeralds, always on the run with his
        buddies, sports, work and school.
        A new part of his life is about to commence.
        He will soon leave for college
20    with his whole life before him.  
        I look at the bracelet clinging to my wrist,
        thankful he still has more to learn and love to give.
        A man stands before me now, 
        my tiny baby all grown up. 
25    Still I have my precious memories  
        and the delicate piece of gold,
        which will always cling to my heart!
