- the Moment Counts -

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need."
                                         Quote: Mother Teresa


                                           A happy moment 
                                     is certainly a piece of cake
                                         Enjoy the sweetness 
                                         of pink cotton candy
                                  and multicolored tulips so divine

                                            You never realize
                                    what you had before it's gone
                                       Don't waste the moments
                                         each one is significant

                                           Our life is to search
                                       unforgettable experiences
                                          as aged photographs
                                  intertwined with tears and laughter

                                        A barefooted line dancer
                                   freezes the sequence of events
                                          don't miss the details
                                   Tomorrow will come all too soon
                                          today the breath of life
                                                          - a sneeze in ecstasy
