Each Moment

If we could catch a moment
So that it could not get away
If we could keep it trapped inside a jar
So with us it would always stay

I wonder just what piece of time
We would choose to keep
Out of time’s vast field of moments
Which one would we reap?

How many are these moments
That have already slipped away
As we pay no attention
They pass by us every day

We should make the most of this time
That we have here on this earth
Each and every moment
From our death back to our birth

In this life we have but one chance
At each moment that goes by
Let’s not let them slip away
And then be left to wonder why

© Jack Roberts - April 6, 2003

Jack...

This is chock full of your wisdom.
Time is what we have that is given to us.

"We are born and we die
What is important is the time
Between birth and our goodbyes".
Love and peace,
Susan

this reminds me of a song.."Slip away" by Sally Vaugh.....South african singer...beautiful song..
Beautiful write too ....we spend too much time feeling sorry for ourselfs and forget to look at the good things around us....but sometimes it is hard see the difference between good and bad......you get sleezy people around......You never even knew that before....You become closer to them.....then it is too late not to get hurt...
God life sucks sometimes....
But anyhow this was a great write indeed
Love Tinka
