This Moment

The lake reflects shades of green and blue
As the sun slowly sets it exposes the hues
It seems to have a life all of it's own
So exotic the beauty that is being shown
As I sit and watch, I notice the smell of rain in the air
As the one that I love runs her fingers softly through my hair
And we sip slowly from our glasses of wine
All is perfect in this moment, as we stop here in time
Nothing seems to be moving anywhere
Even if it did we wouldn't care
For a moment like this seldom occurs
As the one that I love whispers sweet words
And assures me that our love always will be
She says she'll stand by me for eternity
To what can you compare a moment such as this
This is a moment that in heaven alone, should exist
But, I take it in a savor, for at times I will need
To stop and remember that GOD planted this seed
Because, in life there are too few moments like these
So, with gratitude and love I fall to my knees
To give thanks for this moment with which I've been blessed
And wait for the day of final rest
For it is said, that a lifetime of pleasure multiplied by seven
Does not compare to a second in heaven
