Fleeting Moments

Fleeting moments, oh how they pass Like wisps of smoke, or blades of grass They come and go, with fleeting haste And leave behind a lingering taste Some moments bring us joy and light Like laughter shared on summer nights Or tender words whispered in the dark That kindle flames within our heart Other moments bring us pain and sorrow Like tears shed on a bleak tomorrow Or harsh words spoken in anger's heat That leave us wounded and incomplete But all these moments, good and bad Are part of life, both happy and sad So cherish them while they are here For soon enough they will disappear Fleeting moments, precious and rare Handle them with love and care For they will never come again And memories are all that remain.
