Mothers, you will never regret time spent with your children. Don’t forget to cherish the moment.

“Think ahead to a time
When your little boy’s a man
And you’d give anything
Just to hold him again.”

Cherish the Moment

Words and music by Ron Hamilton
Arr. by Shelly Hamilton

Read my book, rub my back;
Mommy, listen to my prayer.
Let me sit in your lap.
Daddy, fly me through the air.
Throw a ball, make a snack;
Can we go to the park?
Tuck me in, hold me close;
I’m afraid of the dark.

(Chorus)
Cherish the moment;
Soon you’ll be apart.
Cling to the mem’ry;
Clasp it to your heart.
Soon comes the day when
you’ll have no child to hold,
So cherish, cherish the moment.

Sing a song, play a game;
Swing me high in the air.
Ride a bike, fly a kite;
How I love the times we share.
Hold my hand, hug my neck;
Daddy bounce me on your knee.
Come and sit by my bed;
Mommy sing me to sleep.

(Chorus)
Cherish the moment;
Soon you’ll be apart.
Cling to the mem’ry;
Clasp it to your heart.
Soon comes the day when
you’ll have no child to hold,
So cherish, cherish the moment.

Think ahead to a time
When your little ones are grown;
Hold them tight, don’t lose sight
Of the blessings you have known.
Think ahead to a time
When your little boy’s a man
And you’d give anything
Just to hold him again.

(Chorus)
Cherish the moment;
Soon you’ll be apart.
Cling to the mem’ry;
Clasp it to your heart.
Soon comes the day when
you’ll have no child to hold,
So cherish, cherish the moment.

Thank you, Lord for the time you gave us.
Thank you for teaching me, while they were young, to cherish the moments.
