I love

Some people have treasures

Of silver and gold

But I have a son, 4 years old

Some people have diamonds and some have pearls 

But I have a daughter, a two-year-old girl

I love to hear their laughter and giggles

Especially when they both dance and wiggle

To love the whisper when they pray 

And kiss me goodnight at the end of the day

I love the word “Mommy”

That’s ever so sweet

I even love the ground they walk

That is beneath their feet

My Treasures

Some people have treasures

Of silver and gold

But I have a son, 4 years old

Some people have diamonds and some have pearls 

But I have a daughter, a two-year-old girl

These are my treasures 

My Lord bestowed upon me

To love them, to cherish them 

Keep them happy and safe as can be

The years went by, oh so fast

But in my heart

The memories will forever last 

So my sweet children

The years have flown 

Now you are older 

And suddenly grown 

But soon I will leave you 

Beyond the Heaven blue

But always remember 

My last thought will be of you
