Captured Time

Captured Time

If I should ask myself..
Could I travel backward in time?
Can 18 wheelers ..
Ever stop on a dime?

To that one place..
That changed my life forever..
That tiny space in time..
My memory can always find.

To that one place..
Where I can clearly see their face..
Hear the softness in their voice..
Feel the warmth of their smile.

No..not ever..
Will I travel backward in time..
18 wheelers.. won't ever stop on a dime.
Yet ..the answers I sometimes seek..
I will never find..
For they are forever captured..
In..that one place in time.
