Things Most Precious

Sunshine in the morning,
A smile upon your face,
Love as day is dawning,
Your dress, lined in lace.

The way your hair flows freely,
The twinkle in your eyes,
These are Things Most Precious,
Things I hold divine.

Morning Dew upon the lawn,
A breeze upon my cheek,
The swaying of the cornfield,
The Night Owls haunting shriek.

Your picture in a silver frame,
A locket of your hair,
These are Things Most Precious,
Fairest of the Fair.

Children playing happily,
Safe from fear of war,
The shining of the Stars At Night,
And Winters Frosty Hoar.

Church bells Sunday Ringing,
Laughter in the Night,
These are Things Most Precious,
Things To Hold On Tight.
