For a Moment

She smiles at me
And I smile back;
For a moment
I'm happy to do so,
Who wouldn't smile
On a cloudy day
At a ray of sunlight?
For a moment
I hesitate;
I'd really like to stay
And exchange
A few words,
For a moment
I'd like to hear
Her laugh,
Listen to
Her thoughts;
Feel her cadence,
For a moment
I ignore the world;
Admiring this beauty
Like a rose by the side
Of my life's road,
For a moment...
