You gave me a moment
A moment to savour,
The truths I'd forsaked
Of life's hues and flavour
A moment to voice
New thoughts - and some old,
A moment to wonder
To fear or be bold
A moment to walk
Those paths I would tread,
And clothe with new words
Old songs in my head
A moment to smile
At the first light of Dawn,
And stroll with the leaves
'Cross a dew dampened lawn
A moment to ponder
On walks by the streams,
The visions I had fashioned
From the fabric of my dreams
You left me a moment
My spirit to hold,
On lonely winter nights
To keep out the cold
Like others I had days
And moments I knew,
I lost all those moments
In a moment with you.
With a whiff I'll recall
That fragrance anew
Of a single, stray moment -
Long forgotten by you.
Of a rose on a table
And a candle well placed
Two strangers and a song
That the moment had graced.
You gave me your Moment.
I give you my Hours.
I'll dress them in moonbeams
And crown them with stars.
Will you take what I give
Such offers are few,
Of hours made of moments
And each moment for you.
