Magic Moments - Jose Warden

Magic moments - are times remembered
Moments that are special not to be forgotten
Like, as a small child going home with a
Precious cargo in a small box.
Holding 6 day old chicks or ducklings'
Listening to their 'Cheep, cheep' or 'quack'.

Magic moments - are a day at Belle Vue.
Seeing animals at the Zoo, elephant rides.
Rides on the funfair; caterpillar, scenic railway;
Watching the Bobs rush round too scared to ride
Now wishing I had - to be able to say 'I did that!'

Magic moments - are a visit to the circus.
With Ringmaster, clowns: CoCo & Little Billy, making you laugh
Animal acts, elephants, lions, tigers, sea lions, horses & dogs.
Then the high wire and acrobats to amaze and delight.
While acts came and went, each different to the last,
Until it was time to say; 'goodbye' till next year.

Magic moments - are holding your new born in your arms,
Watching and wondering what colour's their eyes.
Holding tiny hands with fingers so small.
Seeing their tongue move in and out.
Then doing it all over again with your Grandchild.

Magic moments - are being at your daughter's wedding
Of a special Service on a perfect day.
With a butterfly floating down on her headdress.
The day shared with family and friends
Making the most of a perfect day.
