*This Is One Of Those Moments*


There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for and dream,
Of all your life.
This is one of those moments.


I will always remember this chair,
that window, the way the light streams in.
The clothes I'm wearing,
The words I'm hearing,
The face I'm seeing,
The feeling I'm feeling,
The smell, the sounds, will be written
On my mind, will be written in my heart
As long as I live!


I can, travel the past and take what I need
To see me through the years
What my father learned and his
Father before him will be there
For my eyes and ears.
I can walk through the forests
Of the trees of knowledge
And listen to the lessons of the leaves.
I can enter rooms
Were there are rooms within rooms
Wrapped in the shawl that learning weaves.


I remember, Papa everything you taught me
What you gave me, Papa
Look at what it's brought me
There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away
No wave can wash away
No wind can blow away
And now they're about to be mine!


No tide can turn away
No fire can burn away
No time can wear away...


I can open doors and take from the shelves
All the books I've longed to hold
I can ask all the questions,
The whys and the wheres
As the mysteries of life unfold
Like a link in a chain
From the past to the future
That joins me with the children yet to be,
I can now be a part
Of the ongoing stream,
That has always been a part of me!


There are certain things that once you have
No man can take away
No wave can wash away
No wind can blow away
No tide can turn away
No fire can burn away
No time can wear away
And now they're about to be mine!


There are moments you remember all your life.
There are moments you wait for
And dream, of all your life.
This is one of those moments!
