Moments

Ev'ry moment holds a secret
that it whispers as it passes
It tells me, "I am beauty. I am here."
In its essence--breathing deeply,
singing sweetly, simply being
It reminds me that the God of life is near.

For You give me all these moments,
all these precious bits of time
to share them in the life I claim right now
And you grant me gift of seeing,
gift of touching, hearing, speaking,
in a way that only hearts from You know how.

As I go into this moment
that is fashioned by Your hand
and brought into this world upon your breath
Let me live my life unbound
to the fear within myself
so that soon my will, by Yours, can meet its death.

-C. O'Connell-
