For a Moment...(by Michael)

Through every waking hour
my mind is always filled,
SMA never takes its leave.
but for a moment I am still.


I walk the path before me,
travelling hand in hand.
we trip and fall; we look to others,
but for a moment I am still.


The feelings come in waves,
the joys, the tears, the puzzling why.
plenty are emotions,
but for a moment I am still.


The world out there is filled with souls,
traversing their own way.
behind their eyes we may never know
what tears them up inside...
but for a moment I am still.


When streaming past the fallen leaves, while trudging through the snow,
as summer breezes kiss your face, and springtime again is known,
take the time to hug your child, to kiss them tenderly...
let your inner child delight in you...
but for a moment just be still


I am still.
still as thoughts surround my head.
still as walking paths we take.
I am still as waves of me spill out.
still as others find their way.
I am still as I hold my children near.


For a moment we are still.
