Precious Moments Poem by Patricia Grantham
Precious Moments
Time waits for no one like the flower that will soon fade away
Spend some moments with loved ones before the end of the day
Have a long talk with friends and chat about the good old times
Pick up a book and read to a child or sing some nursery rhymes
Precious moments just like a vapor will soon begin to disappear
Days and weeks will be no more then will lead to a brand new year
The time you have will pass away so visit the ones you hold dear
Stay in touch with family and friends whether they live far or near
Opportunities passed along the way can not be recovered again
Relationships torn apart by time will take some care to mend
Lending an ear to someone and listen to what they might say
You may be that special person that may touch a life that day
If you're ever given the chance to help take sometime to do your part
Reap the harvest of love that is sown in a lonely and barren heart
Save and cherish each precious moment as if it were to be your last
It too will be just a memory and another thing belonging to the past

Excellent poem Patricia, loaded with great advices and philosophy.
I love the soul you poured in this poem, it has my piece in this write, i speak to me, like i speak to myself everyday..just like it too much, somehow it has some personal matters to me...as if you write it unwritten and it then written to me for myself_Soul
A great didactic poem with wonderful style of rhyme and rhythm is soul- stirring, Patricia! Beautiful!
A beautiful philosophy for life. Should get the job done. Filled with heart and compassion and so well done
Wisdom at its best, your words are heard deeply by me and I hope they touch an abundance of people. Life is so short, I'm so happy you wrote this poem Patricia.....
I love the sentiment but I don't think the first stanza fits together with the other three. I think the first stanza would be better as another poem perhaps dealing more with children. However the rest of the stanzas fit very well together and are just wonderful. great write.
Save and cherish each precious moment as if it were to be your last It too will be just a memory and another thing belonging to the past beautiful and breathtaking bravo
