Treasured moments often dash on by
As if on the wings of a butterfly
Into memory they are quickly stored
Those moments treasured and adored
Lovingly recalled later in great detail
Now relegated to stories and tales
A newborn’s first gentle sigh
Bringing a tear of joy to ones eye
A first step wobbly and uneven
Such a joyous achievement
Anticipation of love’s first kiss
Never forgotten that hint of bliss
The day you buy your first home
Through which you freely roam
Many moments could fill a book
Never shall they be overlooked
So although time dashes by
It will be remembered if with a sigh
