Moments

To savour every moment 
Taken as if the last
Suck the marrow from the bone
This life is all we have 

In this our chosen moment 
Our lives but a flash in time 
Holds our every importance 
Of life within our hands 

Do not take it easily
Defiantly not lying down 
There is plenty of time for resting
As we drift slowly to the end

Yet in our haste for moments 
To record the dullest deed
We must take time to capture
A small moment in all we see
