Missed Moment

Grabbed the camera to catch the moment

Batteries were sapped of energy

Ran inside, replaced them quickly

Only to return and the moment had passed me by

Your name flashed through my mind

Knelt to pray, phone rings urgently

Ran to answer, missed them

Only to return and your name slipped by

I sit here listening to the stillness

Missed opportunities paramount in my thoughts

Transformation, renewing vie for attention

Which one will win this vicious cycle

As I ponder on these things for a moment

I recall a simple truth shared

The dog who will win this fight

Is the one you feed alright

I grabbed my Bible and found my place

Feeding the dog that won my fight

Renewing my mind wins hands down

I refuse to let this moment pass me by
