In this time of over spending and over indulgence I want to leave this message.
(c) 2015 Edward York
The little hands I held today,
Brought to my face a smile.
And any troubles I may have had,
Left me for a while.
Even though you are short right now,
In emotions you are tall.
Possessing a great big growing heart,
In a body that is small.
I watched you try to make a choice,
As your mind began to churn.
So many decisions lie ahead,
So much for you to learn.
It doesn’t take a pile of gold,
But simple things instead.
Like a story from your favorite book,
Before you go to bed.
It doesn’t take a great big toy,
Nor a nickel or a dime.
The best gift I can give to you,
Is just the gift of time.
