One Small Son Poem by Richard Willard Armour

One small hand to hold in yours,
One small face to smile,
One wet kiss as he says 'good-night'
One small child.

Catch the moment, put it in your heart
The years too soon will fly.
These are precious moments,
more than money can buy.

Two small arms to hold you tight,
Two small feet to run,
Two small eyes full of love for you,
One small son.

Catch the moment and put it in your heart
and never let it go.
Save it for the years to come,
when he, too will know.

One small hand to hold in his
One small face to smile.
One small kiss and she says 'good-night'
One small child.
