Give Someone A Chance

The sparkle in ones eyes
Made you so proud grasping
The moment watching
So quietly yet childlike

They bring sorrow
Many times in life
Again you never forget
The joy and serenity

One is so desperate
For ones attention
Howling in ones heart
Outburst of ones hands
Shows one needs you

Cherish every minute
Grasp one into your arms
Make known you are always
There. Vocalize these three
words I LOVE YOU.

As your child whispers
Mom/ Dad your the greatest
I LOVE YOU.
