"Memorable"

Memorable 

 

Moments move along so quickly,
though there are sixty of them
in a minute, and 3,600 in an hour.
So often it seems we blink
and life jumps ahead,
whether we’re ready or not,
dragging us along for the ride,
sometimes catching glimpses
of the scenery as we pass,
sometimes missing it entirely.

Some moments stand out in time,

marked by monumental circumstances,
while others slip by with barely
a notice. And still others manage
to sneak up and surprise us,
staying for a spell, living
in the heart and mind forever,
replaying over and over,
as often as needed.
