Messages from a Mother

In our world, I am just one person
To a child, you are their world
Life's demands, rob precious moments
This can be neither repeated nor recovered
All the money and gold that one desires
Cannot buy the love and pleasures lost through time
It will not matter in years to come, what materials you have acquired
The time you spent with a child is what will make a difference in the world
It is what a child will remember.
