The tiny fingers of a newborn

clutching at your hand

a child's first ride without training wheels

An old friend calling after many years

the way a backrub feels

The thunderstorm thats brewed for hours

finally bursting with the clouds

Cool aloe spray after a beach day

One empty seat on a tour bus

after a long day of walking

A priest trying to give a sermon

while a two year old is talking

The way a bride and groom

dance with eyes only on each other

An extended visit from your wonderful older brother

A check in your purse you forgot to cash

Not being able to eat salt, and finding Mrs. Dash

A deal of a lifetime

the smell of a brand new car

Looking up into the nightsky from a balcony

and finding the brightest star

An irish lullabye your mother used to sing

A microphone and tambourine and an audience

that long to hear you sing

Riding a bike down a country road

sometime in late September

Someone emailing you a video

of a wonderful song that you remember

A high school reunion and all are doing great

A trip down memory lane

A line at the bank with no wait

A tax break, a promotion, a handshake

or a hug

breakfast in bed or doing nothing all day

with someone that you love.

Baby's chubby cheeks

red from a little cold

When someone says they remember you

when  you were ten years old.

An elderly neighbor who needs a lift

cleaning up in january

and finding an unopened Christmas gift.

A song playing on the radio

that brings you back in time

Trying to write a song and remembering

finding just the perfect rhyme

A sunset on vacation

A wine that tastes so right

Finding out your planes overbooked

but getting a voucher for two free flights

Someone's bad habits overlooked

A stadium blanket at a football game

A year of free gas won in a raffle

Amish baked goods, home fries and scrapple

When a flag guy waves you through

and then he winks at you

Getting to a wedding in time

to watch the happy couple say "I Do"

A month's free rent, a stich in time

freshly fallen snow

Happily everafters, green lights, the smell of

lawn freshly mowed.

Kindergarten kids with stars on their forehead

taken from their first graded paper

the way vicks vapor rub smells

when your mom puts in on your throat

finding something to your mother that your father wrote

tipping over with your lifevest on

in a canoe on the lake

A friend complimenting you on a diamond necklace

and they don't know it's fake

Going to Baskin Robbins, finding out there's an icecream

that tastes like "Birthday Cake"

The guy you've had your eyes on

finally asking you on a date

Walking away covered in smiles

thinking you've found your soulmate

Staying up at night cruising youtubes

that remind you of certain things

Family celebrations, first grandchildren

and the happiness life brings

The leaves changing colors

in Northeastern PA

Kids making leaf piles

On a fresh crisp Autumn Day.

Seeing your kid score a soccer goal

and then doing a kartwheel on the field

Taking an exam, hitting the button, and it says PASS

A gently breeze, A compliment, donating to a blood bank

Weekends that are long, weekdays that go fast

Opening up a Thank You card

Rebates, Income Tax Checks, free stuff in the mail

Playing Monopoly with your kid

She smiles, hands you the card to get out of jail.

Remembering childhood things you did

Grandparents telling tales of long ago

Turning on the TV to find you have a snow day

and going back to bed

Pizza delivered with a 30 Minute Guarantee or It's Free

and they take thirty three!

A child with a boo-boo, holding on to their knee

and having an ouchless bandaid

Working for a candidate and celebrating Victory

Finding out your favorite movie is on TV.

A letter from home, A check in the mail, A pat on the back

kids calling you to see how you are

Finding out your clock is fast

taking hot bubble baths

Counting your blessings, finding out there's more

Knowing you're loved, and so much more

Precious Moments that keep on coming

Fill our lives forevermore.
