A MOMENT IN TIME


  A speck of dust, just a trickle of water,


  Soon would blow with the wind and dry
  Into nothing.

  Our time is now for we are a whisper wanting 
  To be heard,

  A short period for laughter, remembered for 
  What we leave.

  For so long has time existed, the world, the
  Universe so large,

  We are but a fragment, a particle of all that was 
  Created.

  A moment in time was this gift we were given 
  From God above,

  A moment to see and love all there is to understand  
  From this.

  Where we go from here we shall not know, but hold 
  No fear,

  Like many fallen leaves from a tree, we are one,
  We disappear.
                                 Keith Garrett
