Time in a moment
 
 
As I sit here looking out at the sky
I cant help but wonder how did I get here and why?
It seems like yesterday I use to play in those fields
my sisters and brothers would run like the wind
I couldn't catch them but they would still let me win.
The times seem to hurry as if it was now,
I know that I am a mother
with kids of my own, they come to visit
its hard to believe how they have grown.
As I walk through the halls there are faces I know,
If it was today or so long ago.
I try to explain that I once knew you when
 It's me remember! but my words don't begin
It doesn't really matter for it's this moment that counts
your smile makes me happy and the hug means so much
Are you my friend That I knew long ago
please forgive me because I  really don't know.
Maybe I saw you before in church or at the store.
Hey leave me alone, You don't work here no more.
I think to myself I have sat her so long it must be night time
I think I 'll go home.
