What if.....

I missed it.

 

A single moment in time

a fleeting thought,

a murmer,

an urge,

How many words?

 

I missed it,

and it's gone.

 

I missed it..

The laughs,

the cries.

However many

goodbyes.

 

I missed it

 

Time just flies.

 

The sun  

will soon die,

but not

before

you or I.

 

I missed that too......

I followed you from my post to your site and reread a post and found the date 21 October 2009! ...and your original work has been deleted. Let me know where you have hidden it Nichola, I've been a long time searching... Tommy

It's 2015... Still wondering if I missed that one fleeting moment.

Catch moments every day. Still looking for that moment that defines my very own 'I AM', or my son's or daughters 'I am'

We become defined by what we create, which in turn creates meaning and so defines us and recreates us.

What You can be .... And the fight to achieve it defines what you are ...

Thank you for your comments. Sorry for the changes, but my very own Simon Cowell of poetry has just ripped me to shreds and given me a title.
Have to thank him. He nailed it........What if?...

A very touching piece of work: thank you!
