Fleeting Moment
Copyright 2002 Lauren Blackstone

I cannot hold tightly
   to a fleeting moment
I cannot stay planted
   on such shaky ground

What is before me one minute
   is gone the next
What I'm allowed to have now
   won't be mine forever

~But even though my heart cries with sorrow~

I'm still trying to hold on
   to this fleeting moment
I'm still trying to prove
   this love is Heaven sent

Every kiss that I am allowed
   I safely tuck away
Until I am forced to face
   My most fateful day

When my moment is over
   and there's nothing I can hold
And I'm left standing here
   alone in the cold
       trying to hold tightly to a fleeting moment
