- a moment
by: robert francis

Moments pass
Moment last
Moments stuck in my mind
Keeping me behind
Always the child
Always the onlooker
I want to be it all
But now I feel so old
Old in spirit
Frail and looking back
Seeing all I lack
I hold myself back
Retarded beyond my years
Holding back the tears
Even though I know it's lost on me
I'm lost in a moment
A moment long since past
A moment never to be
A me I may never see
