CHERISH
by Rachel Snyder
Cherish all you've been given.
Cherish baby's first smile,
first cry,
first
tooth,
first word.
Treasure them now, because they pass so quickly.
Cherish the memory of the time before baby
when you believed you could do anything
and cherish the thought that you still can.
Cherish the things that really matter,
like time
and love
and laughter.
Like
a hug and a kiss
and the tiniest gesture that says Ilove you.
Cherish
whomever you call your family
and whomever you call a friend.
Respect both
the children
and the elders around you,
and most certainly cherish yourself.
Oh, yes, cherish the challenges of parenthood, too,
for the way they make
you
strong.
Then cherish this moment.
This one, right now
it's the only one
you can truly appreciate.
