-- Moments of My Life --

By John Herlihy

 

 Life is full of moments

To come and go at will

Intrepid is time’s arrow

Moving ever forward still

Few best moments exist

In brief seconds of time

Few sad moments persist

These moments also mine

The moon on the horizon

A world’s celestial token

Butterfly hovers on the fly

Lands on the flower’s eye

My moments never linger

Identity writ in my finger

Any moment without strife

As best moment of my life

Take moments as they come

From your own destiny spun

INDEED 'MOMENTS' COME AND GO AS THEY SEE FIT...BRINGING THE 'LIFT' THAT IS SO NECESSARY AND TAKING AWAY THE GLOOM. THEY FLY IN ON SCENES(PAST & PRESENT), A MEMORY...A WORD, A SONG OR EVEN A SCENT IN THE AIR. THANK GOD FOR THEM ARRIVING RIGHT ON TIME WITH 'EXACTLY' WHAT IS NEEDED AT 'EXACTLY' THE RIGHT...MOMENT. THANK YOU, JOHN! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I for one would have liked to have been riding on your shoulder through all the places you have been and savored all the people you have met. Many precious moments.
