It seems almost impossible
As I look down memory lane.
All that comes to my mind
And all that I have gained.

We spent our days generously,
As if time would never end.
Laughter, fun and love throughout
And hearts that had to mend.

Oh the treasures that I hold
As I look into your eyes,
Is mixed with a bitter cup
Of how fast time does fly.

I‘d hold on to you forever
If only I knew I could,
For you returned the very best
In my journey of motherhood.

The joy that’s in your heart,
I can see perfectly,
Is a reflection of my love
Coming gently back to me.
