Precious Memories

They were so precious and they were so fine Those pentacles of life, now lost in time Try hard to remember what it was like The first time you held the string of a kite The first fish you caught; remember that tug Or when someone special gave you a hug Think back, remember that very first kiss Stirred emotions you didn’t know exist Recall young love when everything’s new Sex in the back seat of a car or two? Strange feelings and thoughts that went through your head When you find out parenthood lies ahead How proud, how happy, how scared you both were Holding your firstborn, whether him or her These feelings can never be felt again Still precious memories will always remain
