Fleeting Moments

 In the steady creeping pace of day to day
So much that we forget to say
And for the moments, fleeting be
Let me tell you what you mean to me
The ripples that travel through my soul
That you placed there, from what you show
Make me today who I am
You've helped me be a better man
From a laugh we have or evenings late
Or the work we both procrastinate
In the jokes that only we may share
Or simply knowing that you care
With the Muse I wait breathless for your song
Fey given glamour from your mind
And it's been within you all along
Just leave your doubt and fear behind
These moments on which our hearts thrive
The essence you feel down at your core
The spirit your voice has given life
Or that greeting we've each been waiting for
Every story you'll ever tell
and every laugh you'll ever share
and that single life that you might change forever
By sharing that someday with them somewhere
From the mundane to the divine
Whether we've shared moments or we've shared years
Whether epic journey or just spending time
I cherish every smile and every tear
There is so much greatness within you
It's why I've chose to call you friend
Remembering all we've been through
That I've taken this chance to pen
I could write on and on and not repeat
Of the daily contributions that you make
And the moments we've shared in my mind so sweet
You've made this a life to celebrate
