There Is A Moment

There is a moment in each life

            that has everything in it

It is the defining moment

            It is just for you. Full.

It is not stained with desire or disappointment.

Of all the moments in your life

            will you know it when it comes to you?

Do you know how to recognize it?

            Do you know how to pick it out of all the others?

Do you know how to catch hold and keep it with you?

            to string it on the string of memories and smiles?

Here is a hint:

            It is this moment.

Find the one who can show you how

            To breathe it in.

            To fill yourself with it.

            To keep it forever.
