Take the Time to Listen

Children grow up before our eyes, and soon they are gone.

We as parents must show them love and tell them they belong.

They are precious, so is the time spent with them each day.

Each moment we don’t listen, is one that gets away.

You can’t buy the years back, no matter how you try.

So, take one day at a time, and listen to their cry.
