Make a resolution to give more of your time...


"Make a memory with your children,
Spend time to show you care;
Toys and trinkets can't replace those
Precious moments that you share.
Money doesn't buy real pleasure,
It doesn't matter where you live;
Children need your own attention,
Something only YOU can give."

  1. What fun to see you've quoted the first stanza! Here's the rest of the poem:

    Make a Memory

    Make a memory with your children,
    Spend some time to show you care;
    Toys and trinkets can't replace those
    Precious moments that you share.

    Money doesn't buy real pleasure,
    It doesn't matter where you live;
    Children need your own attention,
    Something only you can give.

    Childhood's days pass all too quickly,
    Happy memories all too few;
    Plan to do that special something,
    Take the time to go or do.

    Make a memory with your children,
    Take the time in busy days;.
    Have some fun while they are growing,
    Show your love in gentle ways.
