Day by Day

Day by day , darling children,
walk, grow, and learn;
grandparents though you now are,
go gently, dear children; see the days turn.
Let the sun rise, and gaze at the star

Each day, many minutes,
the clock ticks away,
to savor, discover, and hold,
seeing, with eyes wide open at day,
in common soil, finding nuggets of gold.
