Children are precious,
a gift from above,
A blessing from God,
To cherish and love.

The time you spend with them
Should be your greatest pleasure,
The importance of your time
Is beyond any measure,

Nothing can replace you,
If you are not there,
Money, or things you can buy
Cannot show them you care.

You can't make up the time,
They spend in daycare,
And the loss they will suffer,
Because their Mom isn't there.

They grow up so quickly,
Before you even know it
So cherish your children,
Love them, and show it.

They need your time,
More than all the rest,
Because children are precious,
And you have been blessed.
