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
