An Extract of Change

An extract is a piece,
of something large and wonderful.
A sample of what it should look like,
before it is looked over.

A memoir is an extract of life itself,
holding one piece that can group everything together.
A moment only you can tell,
and only you can share.

A moment is hard to catch,
passes by without hesitation.
Minutes, hours, it doesn't make a difference,
unless that one moment comes along and changes everything.

Change is a good, shows a different perspective.
But what if we didn't have change?
What if our moments, memoirs, and extracts became nothing?
We'll never know, will we?


The author's comments:
We'll all have to take change one day, might as well learn how to accept it.

A well crafted poem that makes the reader think. I like the way the topic builds and leaves us thinking.
