Make a memory with your children, Spend some time to show you care; Toys and trinkets can't replace those Precious moments that you share. Money doesn't buy real pleasure, It doesn't matter where you live; Children need your own attention, Something only you can give.

Make a memory with your children, Take the time in busy days; Have some fun while they are growing, Show your love in gentle ways.
