these are moments
moments that define

moments to say hi & bye
moments to get by

moments to be kind
moments that bind

moments to wine and dine
moments high

moments to sigh and cry
moments dry

greatest moments
trying moments
these are moments

moments by design
or moments to be redesigned?

take a moment
moments you find
moments to refine

moments by moments
perfectly fine moments
or moments you pay a fine

take a moment
treasure your movements
treasure the moments

these are moments
moments you design
moments that define!
