Just One Moment In Time Poem by Janice M Pickett

If I could hold you again
for just one moment in time
I would take away that fear you
felt when you screamed
staring out that window
at something we couldn't see

I would not have let them take me away
in that ambulance that day
so that your cried so much
arms stretched to me in longing

If I could have one moment in time
I would tell you I love you so much
I would hold you close in my arms
I would wipe away those tears
you cried that day

If I could go back to them
for just one short moment
I would have insisted they
left you at home and not
taken you away

But I did no have that chance
and I never saw your beautiful face
again

My angel Allen
My precious child
I know you now in spirit
I know you are safe
I know you are loved

But if only I had just one more moment in time.
