A moment

The glass falls from the table,

seconds before you grab it,

seconds before the piercing sound of shattering,

and the moment your heart stops.

You turn and glance,

seeing a lifetime in the seconds,

it's destroyed, ruined and wasted,

lost in the abyss of oblivion.

Disappointed and alone,

the heart weeps, and picks up its pieces,

holding on to whatever it can,

to lift itself off the ground.

When you're lost, alone, and hurt,

there's always someone that loves you,

you may not know them,

may not have met them.

But they're watching, waiting and looking,

for you to come along,

brighten their day,

and reveal the light and beauty God put into this world.

We're meant to feel pain, and anger,

but we're meant to know there's more to life than that,

that love really can conquer all,

and that there's always a reason for everything.

You fall, you get up,

cry, and then smile,

stand up for those who can't,

because life, love, and true happiness is worth fighting for.
