Until That Moment
Is
Gone

It is easy
for me to recall
A little old country church
I attended with Mom and
Dad
Back when I was a young lad.
It makes me sad
When I realize I will
never
See Mom and Dad again
Holding hands each time
They walked into
our church.
I guess when we are young
We are too
busy imagining
What our own futures hold
To fully understand what
We
have at the moment,
Until that moment is gone....
