Only Once Poem by Mari Martin

Stars that endlessly shine
going on forever in time.
A rose that blooms in winter.
Can such a Love be mine?


The sad song of the nightengale
silenced by the night.
A sun that never rises
A second chance to make it right.


A rain that does not fall.
Clouds like wishes upon the sky.
One moment in time to say I Love you
but passes forever by.


Once in a lifetime
then gone the thoughts may be.
Cling to hope and happiness
a Love that can be freed.


Just once does time stop for you
and then continues on.
Capture this moment, hold it close
or it's gift will soon be gone.
