The Pause Button

I’m pressing the pause button
So certain it will be fine
I’m not going to rewind
No, not doing that this time

Not going to hit fast forward
I really don’t want to age
And though at times I’m tempted
The stop button I’ll not engage

No….will hit the pause button
I’m going to stretch out this time
Going to savor each moment
In this love hour divine

I’m going to live each second
I’m going to make time stand still
For now I’m omnipotent
I can do it and….. I will

I’m going to press the pause button
Be oblivious to time
I’ll make you forget all else
Except that right now….you’re mine.

Richard D Seal March 28, 2013 at 7:28 PM I'm always yours Auntie, you know that, though methinks I really do need the rewind, my pausing days are over, beautiful thought here, now you've made me all meloncholy, you is a one lol. Take care, Regard Richard Eileen Manassian March 29, 2013 at 1:24 AM Melancholy now and then is good for you, Richard. Gives clarity of thought! :) Take care

Timothy Hicks March 25, 2013 at 1:18 AM I like the way your minds works. How nice would that be to have a remote control for life with every little thing begin just a click away? (though if life did have such a remote the buttons would probably stick and the batteries would die often)... I wonder though if the reason why some moments are so beautiful is because they are so BRIEF. Just some food for thought... great poem Eileen! Eileen Manassian March 25, 2013 at 7:19 AM Thanks, Timothy! I do agree...sometimes it is because they are so brief that they have such a great impact...but I do believe in making those good times last longer! There are some times that I wish would never end! ;) Thanks for the post!

David Fisher March 24, 2013 at 8:07 PM Such a great theme to write about...to pause for a while in a great place sounds like a powerful button indeed! Eileen Manassian March 25, 2013 at 7:20 AM Yes, David. It sure would be nice if we could! :) Thanks for stopping by!

Richard Lamoureux March 24, 2013 at 6:19 PM I could definately use a pause button. Makes me think of the movie Click with Adam Sandler. Eileen Manassian March 25, 2013 at 7:21 AM Oh...yea. I saw that. Poor guy! It all works out in the end though! :) Thanks for stopping by. Timothy Hicks March 25, 2013 at 1:15 AM Haha... I was just thinking of that actually! Perhaps we watch similar movies, eh?
