This Moment

Quality of time, choose how it’s spent
This moment will never be again
It cannot be bought, borrowed or lent

Just a relived memory then
Cherish it, feel it, look all around
This moment will never be again

Hold details in sight and all of the sound
Time won’t stop, so what you have is here
Cherish it, feel it, look all around

Make the best of it, let go of fear
Take in the moment given to you
Time won’t stop, so what you have is here

Live it fully, accept it as new
Your thoughts and insight will show the way
Take in the moment given to you

Each moment is a gem in the day
Quality of time, choose how it’s spent
Your thoughts and insight will show the way
It cannot be bought, borrowed or lent
