Notes About The Poem

In the Moment


"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. 
       Each moment is all we need."
                              Quote_ Mother Teresa

Be happy in the moment, that's enough;
each one- a gem that nestles in your life.
Some sparkle as they are, no need to buff;
but some will never glow with stress and strife.

Enjoy each one that happens then and there,
as it unfolds- forget just saving it
on video or photos- later share
when in the moment thrills won't recommit.

Each moment is a world unto its own-
a special speck of time that will adhere
and shine in memory like a bright stone;
but never like it did on its premiere.

Be happy in each moment -grasp that shine
that overpowers those that are not fine.

How deep the moment, each moment that leaves us to never again happen in quite the same way. Hugs ~ K8m
