JUST A MOMENT AGO
 


Remembering those who died...
May we never forget....





Just a moment ago,
you were one minute old,
nestled close to my heart
so that you would be warm.

Just a moment ago,
you were just turning three,
chasing down butterflies,
and giggling with glee.

Just a moment ago,
I stood cheering your game
as you hit a home run
and the crowd yelled your name.

Just a moment ago,
you walked down the aisle,
now a handsome young groom
with the happiest smile.

Just a moment ago,
you brought me your son,
and I marveled the miracle
that I had begun.

Just a moment ago,
I stood silent and prayed,
asking God for His mercy
on that horrible day.

Just a moment ago,
I stood mourning my child,
as I looked to the heavens
remembering your smile.


Just a Moment Ago...
