poem

This is a poem that I wrote just over a year ago.

Every Moment

Every moment has meaning, every second potential,
No sentence we utter is inconsequential,
We can choose our reaction to every event,
We are free to decide how each minute is spent,
We can embrace awe and wonder at every turn,
As a challenge to grow, to listen and learn,
Every person a haven of untapped fruition,
To the world's equation they're a valued addition.

Everyone has a vantage-point, all have their story,
Every soul yet conceived has their moment of glory,
Every birth it heralds a coming uniqueness,
That is ripened by love, dispels heartache and bleakness,
Small acts of kindness, however fleeting,
Bring hope to our lives, give purpose and drive,
A smile, a wave, an open door, a greeting,
Is food for our soul, helps our spirit survive.

Life is a gift to be treasured each day,
Each precious moment it comes only once,
Possibilities come in a massive array,
Eternity made in each chosen response,
We determine our destiny in the way we react,
We get what we give in the end - its a fact,
As our script is complete and death does descend,
Every chapter and twist will conclude at its end.
