One Moment

One moment when desperation

Knocks on your door

One moment when desperation

Gives a call

All you've taken for granted is lost

It's crashed and its burned

All you're left with is

Yourself, your faith, and the ground you're standing on

In that one moment you give god every fiber of your being

In exchange for the ones you love

In that one moment

You give up your soul

Because you know your life

Means nothing next to theirs

How will you go on?

How will you survive?

How will you make it through the next days and nights?

Don't take for granted things that can be easily lost

Live your life and each day as though it were your last.

Help those you know nothing of

Care for those you love

Life's too short for sadness

Look and smile at the heavens above
