there will be moments, fleeting seconds
when a journey of ones self halts ~ mid stream
life’s own pattern that normally flows and
ebbs across jagged rocks across mossy leaves
there will be moments, when breath is hard to grasp
when knowing someone that you love cannot help
themselves, with tears that form, the droplets fall
no way to catch them, to make them disappear
there will be moments, you wish to trade their
place with yours, absolve the frightened
look held within their eyes, to give them
reassurance and all the love you have
there will be moments, like grey clouds overhead
that form, that turn your day from sunshine
into rain, when all you wish is to comfort
them, to take away their pain
so when these moments strike you ~be prepared
as you can be, know that you won’t breath in
the seconds that it takes, know your life can
turn upside down and you will also break

Ramblings From A Mum 
Jenny, a very poignant poem. >KB
Thank you so much KB.
Beautiful work.
Thank you E. x
You do take away their pain,
with your gentle smile,
concern etched on your face.
Tenderness sparkling from your eyes.
Your compassion abounds, They feel your care,
this they grasp and value so,
Along with your love…
This is their comfort, that you provide.
You are their treasure,
not hidden nor buried.
But brightly shining,
you are their sunshine.
Offering them comfort and warmth,
light and guidance.
With your bright smile you see, and your love.
You are their treasure.
🙂

Oh so true, Lovely words Jen.
So sorry 😦
Thank you sweet, yes the moment it happened with dad, everything flashes before you..in the moment. Thank you for your kindness, thankfully no broken bones, just a very bruised face and bandage now. Tis a worry though xx
So beautiful. These words speak to my heart. I know exactly how you feel. I’m so sorry 😦
Thank you Beck ~ and I do know how you feel. Thank you also for your kind words. He will recover, but I fear there will be more ‘moments’ like these ahead 😦 xx
Sometimes you just can’t take away that pain… it is a complicated situation. So well presented… poignant and heart-felt and quite evocative as well.
Thank you HA, I wrote this after my fathers accident the day before… how in little moments, sometimes you can’t take the pain away, your own life seems to take on a different meaning. Thank you.
I hope he is completely fine.
Bruised and battered, but thankfully yes – thank you HA for your kind words.
Time flies and it is a thief
It can steal many things indeed Willow.
hugs jen )

Those moments are fleeting but defining and changes our perspective about life ~
Heartfelt verses, thanks for sharing them ~
Thank you Grace for reading. Brought about by my dad’s fall…when everything flashes past your eyes, thinking the worst and how quickly life can alter…
This is beautiful, Jen and so true.
