A Moment Frozen in Time

Moments come and moments go 
    as time keeps marching on;
hold me now and kiss me slow 
   ‘fore sunlight breaks with morning dawn,
      and wills this precious moment gone.

As moments linger, they touch the heart, and that's truly enough my sweet friend. I sense you're holding them so close-- never letting go. This is beautiful, tender and romantic. Sending hugs along the wind. ~ Brandy

Wouldn't be great if those moments lasted a lifetime John. All we can do is try and relive them as often as we can. Hope you're keeping well. Tom
