This came about because life is very busy at the moment. It can also be somewhat fraught. Yet – if we take time to look around at some of the simple wonders and beauty around – even for a second, it helps us appreciate the simple natural wonders of the world in which we live. A memory is something that we can revisit whenever we want – and lasts a lifetime.

Take a moment

A simple moment

And make it your own

No one can own it

You discern it

But yours it is

Each day

Just a moment

Your choice

Look across

Look up

A scene

A cloud

Light

One second

A view

A memory

Anew

Take a moment

Make it yours

Appreciate

Dedicate

A second

A picture

Has no stricture

A memory

Becomes minds allegory

Take a moment

A simple snapshot

Make it yours

Live it

Enjoy it

Relive it

It’s yours

Forever.

    Beautiful picture, the words ring true. That is what we all need to do, is take a moment out of our day. Very nice poem.

    I somehow missed this when it first came out – but pleased I came across it today – it’s a great piece…
