A moment in time that I wish I could freeze
Or travel back to the past with such ease
If I could, I would make it so right
I would then eradicate this endless plight
I ask myself of whose life I can still embrace
Or how many lives I could touch and face
In my imperfection, what can I perfect?
Whose life can I deeply and truly affect?
My purpose seemed so evident once upon a time
Yet now, it seems harried and with less rhyme
I’d like not to scatter to and fro
Rather, to know whose life I will grow
With energy and trust, I deeply say yes
To this bond that goes on like a true worthy test
Clouded from view through my own naked eyes
Is how the stars show in the midnight sky
Cannot see through past’s smoke and mirrors
