Hi Chris, These four lines stand alone by there self. I really enjoyed tone and vibe of the piece. Great title as well. "If only a moment" I can be your student and you be my teacher. You write so good my friend. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

Love this piece of verse. So weird, I almost posted something last night that would have complemented this... in a way.
