LIFES PASSAGES

In the moment you were there
The world changed

Just a little bit
In that second or two

But how much really
Because you were there

Each moment we live
We pass
Smile, talk to or listen
To people

What did they do for us
And we for them

We may never know, except
In that which faces us

A smile to a look
Of desperation

A kind word
To one who hates the world

An ear for one on whose shoulders
Rests that world

Yes

In the moment you were there
The world changed just a little bit

Thank you for
Being there for me

The moment changed
Just a little

The result
A brand new me.
