This collection of poems include some from the author's first book Poems From The Heart. These were included because they fitted in with the theme of the second book. Unlike the first book all the episodes deal with "memories' that are indeed precious. Hence the title: Precious Memories.

In the morning, as we open our eyes, the first thing we see is a beautiful sunrise. As we say our morning prayer, we are opening our hearts before the Lord. As the miraculous sunrise moves across the sky, this is a brand new day. Let the Lord lead you into all truths. Keep your eyes on the Lord and every day you will have a fresh start. If you put Christ FIRST in your life, He will give you inner peace. As the night draws to an end God flashes a beautiful Sun Set in the sky to end His brand new day He has given us. As we say our Prayers remember all the Blessings that the Lord has given to us and be thankful that He has allowed us to see the end of another beautiful day. May God bless and keep you always!
