Precious Passing Moments

The glimpse of a rainbow,
The dew drops on a leaf,
These precious passing moments
are the ones we often seek.
The first cry of a newborn,
A beautiful spring day,
Sometimes the things that escape us
we wish we could keep that way.
Building a sandcastle by the ocean,
watching a wave come upon the shore,
The first kiss with your true love,
or winning a big award.
Enjoy what you experience
as it presents itself to you.
Remember that these moments are fleeting
but their impact lasts as you allow it to.
