Moments In Time
We must move forward from moments of the past
The rearview portrays a world that no longer is there
A moment in time on the clock that was never meant to last
These are fleeting moments of the mind that everyone shares
Time is a lovely illusion that everyone loves to hate
The clock is a reminder of the vulnerability and limits of time
It continuously moves us forward to our inevitable ultimate fate
Our memories are a way for many to reminisce and press rewind
In this way we travel in time back to the many places we have been
Remembering a life that was there but, in a sense, never really was
Places captured as pictures in our minds that we would love to see again
Hindsight is 20/20 but also a very unforgiving judge
Remember to live each moment as if you'll never see it again
Share your time & yourself with all those you truly love
