A Moment In Time
For long I was fooled by my own selfish fears
I know it has cost you these hours in tears
The Moment is special, though I didn’t know then
I couldn’t have known, what we two would both win
It happened in places, now special to me
The places where I begin starting to see
A small dark apartment, with only one room
We slept in the night, as still as a tomb
Some nights had their sounds, both tender and low,
The sounds of our love, a whisper would grow
In that soft place, unknown at the time,
Our lives were both changing, beginning to rhyme
Something conceived, that started to grow,
Pregnant with love, you started to show
For me it would take more coaxing and time
But fate had its plans for me, very sublime
It gelled on a mountain, a November day
I realized I needed you, always to stay
I finally told you, and gave you the joy,
To know you were my girl, and I was your boy
Who was it who gave us the seed of our love?
Who could it be, but the One up above?
So a tear squeezes out. I remember and smile
The moments and places my heart you beguiled
Those moments are mine, and yours just we two,
To go back and visit on days sad and blue
I can remember quite clear in my mind,
Those treasured sweet moments, now left far behind
Moments of softness, of sweetness so tender
Moments you taught my heart how to surrender
Moments you gave to me all of yourself
Moments you put your own heart on a shelf
Willing to risk losing all you had built,
Hoping and longing I’d feel what you felt
There was a time, for most of a season,
It seemed my torn heart would not listen to reason
You didn’t know what a seed you had planted
My vow against loving you would be recanted
You were the planter, you tended the seed
You perfectly knew how to kindle my need
It blossomed and grew to a life all its own
I couldn’t imagine, I’d never have known
Slowly I realized, that I had to choose
If I didn’t commit, your love I would lose
You’d waited so long, so patient and true
I’d finally found love. I’d finally found you
One autumn day, on top of a mountain,
A breeze in the air, love flowed like a fountain
That’s one of our moments, our moments in time
Those few perfect moments, one’s just yours and mine
