for a moment

There are little pleasures in life-

they are not to be ignored,

forgotten,

or destroyed.

 

There are little pleasures in life-

they are like fireworks to be viewed.

Their brilliance, is to leave us in awe,

and they are to make the nights a little brighter.

 

If, only for a moment.

 

But they are like fireworks.

Their brilliance, is not to be grasped by our small hands

their small warmth is to felt.

But, they are only for a moment.

 

Little pleasures, like fireworks

are to be loved, but soon die.

They make bright the nights

and daze our eyes.

 

If, only for a moment.
