IF I COULD BUT CAPTURE
A MOMENT IN TIME
AND HOLD IT FOREVER
SO IT WOULD BE MINE
I WONDER WHAT MOMENT I’D CHOOSE?
FOR THERE’S BEEN SO MANY
THAT I CAN’T PICK ANY
I GUESS YOUR NOT REALLY SURPRISED
FROM THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY
TO THE WIND THAT BLOWS BY
ALL THINGS ARE PRECIOUS TO ME
SO I’LL SAVOUR EACH MINUTE
AND BE GLAD THAT I’M IN IT
FOR THIS SECOND
THAT LIFE GAVE TO ME

Mantra

What is the mantra that speaks of gods love
Is it a music that’s sent from above
Or maybe a whisper of things that shall be
I must ask the Angels to tell it to me
Or should I be quiet so I truly can hear
All of them voices that seem to be near
Its best I just listen reflecting my calm
For none of their answers will cause me some harm
I’ll breath in and out and empty my mind
Then fill up the spaces with thoughts that are kind
While waiting for an answer.

Thought to Ponder – “When you let go of control and commit yourself to happiness, it is so easy to offer compassion and forgiveness. This propels you from the past, into the present. People that are negative, spend so much time trying to control situations and blame others for their problems. Committing yourself to staying positive is a daily mantra that states, “I have control over how I plan to react, feel, think and believe in the present. No one guides the tone of my life, except me!”- Shannon L Alder
