Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

A child's face on Christmas eveFace aglow with wonderA lover's upturned face to kissBefore love's torn asunderThe joyful tears of mom and dadOn the birth of their first sonFrom their love they did createA new life just begunAnticipation on every pathAnd crossroad that we meetNot with a frown but with a smileIs how that we should greetEach passing moment in our lifeShould not be filled with sorrowTo the fullest live each dayWe might not have tomorrowGrasp at every chance you getAnd hold on very tightWith your smile lead the wayThrough the darkened nightTo your loved ones let them feelThe warmth of your embraceAnd at the end of life's long roadYou will have won the race Written October 10th, 2001 © on Oct 10 2001 01:55 PM PST   0 • 12
