Moments Poem by Kwai Chee Low

This moment I shall treasure
Laughing children
Innocent and free
Playing cops and bandits
Amidst the trees


This moment I shall cherish
A mother hungry and cold
In tattered clothes
Tenderly lullabying
Her baby to sleep

This moment I am humbled
A leukemia child
Suffering and in pain
Softly saying a prayer
For another

This moment I shall hold dear
A glorious sunset
A coming nightfall
Of twinkling starlight above
Serenading humanity below

This moment I shall remember
Cooling rain
Snuggling under an umbrella
You and I
Music of the raindrops
