"all that is real"

Three little children tucked into bed
Saying a prayer over each sleeping head
Laying beside my husband – my friend
As this precious day draws to an end

Cherish each moment of all that is real
Don’t waste today on tomorrow’s ordeal
Love them completely as moments slip past
Have no regrets if today is your last

Dreams of tomorrow hold close to your heart
Don’t let them control you or pull you apart
Commit to the Lord those things that are real
The dreams that are broken, trust Him to heal

Cherish each moment of all that is real
Don’t waste today on tomorrow’s ordeal
Love them completely as moments slip past
Have no regrets if today is your last
