Moments of Life

In our lives there are certain moments that shape our destiny

Moments that ring around in a vast space

You hear their echoes chiming now coming far away from the past

Moments like beads in a long string each a reminder of an event

Our birth and passing are moments we never recognize

The moments of life are full of anguish and happiness

of trying times, sadness, triumphs and defeats 

In our daily lives moments can pass so slowly and painfully

Waiting to know after all what they will unfold? 

For a moment waiting for a baby to be born healthy and bouncing

For a child to go to school for the first time

For passing or failing hard exam in school to know the score? 

For getting a job you apply to with lot or winning a competition

for job promotion you are seeking and hoping for

For tense moments at the doctor office 

We can hear good news or bad ones that may change the rest of our lives

of an illness, disease or troublesome health laboratory report

In court of law waiting for the moment of judge verdict 

For a business outcome of a success or failure

In love and marriage, a nod a very special moment 

In all our lives we wait for these special moments

they can be tense and hurtful

the outcome can be pleasant

Moments to unfold telling us what will happen? 

Moments that will turn our lives around

Moments that will change our future
