Precious Moments

From our first breath, we cry
Alerting others to new life.
Time passes and growth occurs.
With growth comes change, but
Change has many meanings;
Each one different person to person.
Memories are created regardless if
Happiness or sadness is what created
Them; they are precious moments
That sprout a new bud yet to bloom
In the sunlight of a new day.
Days pass and each have precious
Moments for they remain until we
Take our last breath to be replaced
By another new life yet to sprout 
and bloom.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
