A Moment in Time

You were unexpected
You were a comet headed towards earth
ready to make your mark
you were the distant star
that  wishes were made upon
the glowing full moon
lighting up the dark sky

You were the start of a melody
lyrics being placed on fragile paper
all around you we gathered
our thoughts our prayers
our joys our fears
our smiles
and sadly, our tears

A delicate butterfly
landing for only a brief
Moment in time
then chosing to return
to higher ground
to Heavens gate you returned
leaving us feeling sad
and empty
and yet blessed nonetheless
for you were here, yes,
you were here
For a Moment in Time
you touched our lives
and although we never met
you are an Angel
we will never forget.

Bless you sweet little one
rest in Gods loving arms
Only a Moment in Time
but you were already loved
and you will always be .


For the moment
for the promise of a next time
thank you precious one.
