What Is a Moment
What is a moment?
It’s a flash before your eyes.
A moment comes and goes
before you realize;
A moment is what drives you
with every breath you take
and can be your crowning glory
or can be your worst mistake.
A moment is that instant
when you turn left or right,
and if you make the wrong turn
you may never see the light...
or a moment is that flash
which tells you to stop or start,
where you make a special friendship
or you have one torn apart.
And so a moment is important
for every step that you put forward,
there’s a million moments every day
to offer shame or a reward,
and you should treasure every moment
that goes dashing through your mind,
for a moment’s not immortal,
it is swift but well defined.
So what is a moment?
It’s your birth, your death, your soul,
the very thing that drives you,
which sometimes you can’t control;
but moments are so precious,
they are seeds that you have sown...
from your birth until your death,
each moment is your very own.
