Pamela Ellis Poet I do not know?

What Do I Need?

What  Do I Need?

I need a moment, Just to inhale
I’ll take a breath or two then I will slowly exhale.

I need a moment to think a thought,
To dream a dream, before the dream is shot.

I need a moment to shed a tear,
To remember my loved ones who are no longer here.

I need a moment to speak to my soul,
I will tell it to wake up before I grow old!!

I need a moment to remember who I married
He is the rock I can cling to when life is harried.

I need a moment to just be ME!!
To look where I may and see what I see.

Can I Please have that moment?
Will you give it to me?

I would cherish that moment, when I could be free!!!

John Freeman October 28, 2009 at 8:50 AM It "the moment" is already given, and heaven help any man, woman or beast, that would try to take it from you. Take your moment now for it is God who has given. Very well written, an awesome poem. Smile! Sincerely, Love, Moses
