The Moment of a Lifetime

A moment in time That cannot be erased A memory etched That won't be replaced That night I won't forget And will treasure it forever To be in your presence Is a gift I will part with never I dreamed of this day For oh so many years And thought for sure I would be reduced to tears And have no words in me To muster up the strength to say I would be a puddle And would have all words locked away But when I got up to you And you looked to me with those eyes I felt so comforted and safe And in that moment I began to realize That I could speak to you And get out what I felt inside It came out so clear and calmly And I didn't feel the need to hide In the back of the crowd Or remain silent while you there I simply felt so blessed And like you were the answer to a prayer That I might have the chance Just one chance so divine and real To tell you all the things you have done for me And the way you have made me feel And then I got a picture Which was all I ever hoped for I couldn't believe it at all It was everything I wanted and so much more You took the opportunity To talk to all of us and let us tell you our story You then took time to walk with us And made this night so full of glory We never thought you would walk With us down the street This was so much more amazing What a way to meet The one who has inspired us for so long And given us way more than we could explain We have loved you for so long And that love will always remain Because you showed so much generosity And beauty and touched us to the core You gave us such a wonderful memory That we truly could not ask for more In this life ever Beacuse we got the chance to meet you But you took it beyond the call You gave us more than we ever bargained for And we are so grateful for it all If we could replay the moment over We would rewind it again and again Its one of those moments we will cherish Until our lifetime's end
