At the Moment

In your eyes I see sorrow, pain, hurt and sadnessm, at the moment
but also a great capasity for love and happiness.
Though there is no smile, at the moment,
but I see remininse of former laughter.
You may express feelings of self doubt, at the moment,
but remember the confidence you once had?
Every moment good or bad is an oppurtunity for learning.
What's done with that knowledge is up to you.
Remind yourself that a moment is only a small amount of time,
and you can't know true happiness unless you know true sadness.
Don't get stuck in this moment of turmoil and pain, 
because you never know what the next moment holds for you.
