Free Moments In Time Poem by Damian Cranney

Free moments in time

I am grateful,
for having been granted,
this life, such as it may be,
The simplest of things,
still make me enchanted,
but I know there's much more,
than the little I see.

A new born child,
grips your finger,
with tiny baby hands,
And later when it smiles,
and shows it understands,
That you will always be there,
no matter what befalls,
And when the child becomes Adult,
it's that moment one recalls.

Life is made up,
of moments like these,
So is there a price,
you must pay for it please?
You have to give,
before you can take,
And it's yourself that you give,
and for your own sake

The sum of all happiness,
is human interaction,
But the only way it works,
is if it's selfless benefaction,
If aims are materialistic,
your rewards you will receive,
But happiness it will not buy,
do not yourself deceive.

Ths poem has been reworked from one of my previous endeavors.
