Moment

A moment is a gift from above
A drop of time to call your own
Decisions to be made
Choices to ponder
Moments are fragments of eternity
Pages from a book
Blips of your life
Played out like a film
A moment can change everything
It can turn your life around
Tear you apart
Or push you to the ground
The moment when you hear those words
The dreaded, hated kind
"I'm sorry but.."
"It's over"
"She didn't make it"
"It's cancer"
Or the other kind
The amazing moments
Those three words
"I love you"
Or the infamous "Will you marry me?"
Moments are just pieces
Of this thing we call life
Just snippets of the book
Our soul is writing.
