Unforgetttable Moments

How can one pick just one moment in time? When each second, each minute, each hour Brings moments of remembrance Raining forth, like April showers From the celestial beauty of sunrise Until its glorious setting at night, There’s a wealth of treasured ‘happenings’ To bring wonder and delight The melodic chorus of birds at dawn Heralding a brand new day, Waking beside the one you love Whose kiss, so sweet, can melt your heart away Hugs and kisses, from your children A smile from an infant, newly born The beauty of a delicate flower As it unfurls, to greet the sun at morn The response from a perfect stranger When you smile, and say ‘hello’ A small act of courtesy brightening Their day, as they are rushing to and fro A ‘thank-you’ for a deed of kindness Or when you’ve gone that extra mile, Can fill your soul with gladness And make your day worthwhile A rainbow shining after it rains, A bird of prey flying high, Butterflies flitting, from flower to flower The moon and stars in a clear night sky A phone call, from a relation far away A letter, from a friend in the post The first cup of tea in the morning, Along with hot, buttered toast Talks over wine, or coffee with ‘the girls’ Precious time spent with family, Moments which seem so miniscule But all them, ‘unforgettable’ to me. © Janette Fisher 07.04.11
