In This Fragile Element Of Time
Each fleeting moment of our days
Seems so swift to sweep on past.
In our frantic and urgent sense of grasping
Each fragment of experience we have encountered,
We attempt to relish with ultimate abandon
And store it all away for days to come,
That we may in some mystical way
Relive the days with all their memories.
These memories are not worthless relics
But cherished segments of days we've lived.
To press the recall control within our mind
Brings miracles so precious only God could offer such a gift.
