A lot can happen in a moment.

It may be dim, or a change that's brilliant.

The end of one life, the start of another;

A war waging between sister and brother.

Sometimes it's a small change, sometimes large, 

Sometimes, it makes us want to take charge.

But even though we may not see it, 

One can always guarantee it. 

A small change ending torment, 

A large one you may not warrent. 

It may be just one of life's exponents, 

But everything can change, all within a moment.
