This Moment

Saturdays as a youth, were so special to me, it was the one day of the week, that was all mine. Would go see a matinee, double feature would fill my afternoon, thought this moment would last forever. Sometimes on Saturday afternoon, would spend it at Marshall's music room located between two movie palaces on Grand Ave. Would sit up stairs in the music booth, play all the hits of the day, Buddy Holly, Bill Haley, Little Richard and of course some Elvis to. Sometimes would buy an LP, other times would just listen, thought this moment, would last forever. Oh, the TV shows that came my way, I Love Lucy, December Bride, Leave It To Beaver, Red Skeleton, thought this moment would last forever. Schol days, spelling test, English Lit, school friends, fine teachers, Gym class, lunch room, thought this moment would last forever. Early days of marriage, children coming my way, plans of the future and of now, thought this moment would last forever. Now children all grown, having children of their own, knowing this moment won't last forever, but for now will enjoy and take it in, to my mind and heart. wrote 2-7-07
