once in a lifetime

it only happens once not twice, the moments vanishing like mice, scurrying past, life much too fast and only for the very brave the strong, the true and when the moment comes for you don't let it pass you by for in the twinkling of an eye the love is gone the moment dead, an empty ringing in your head your heart will know when fate has whisphered in your ear . . . oh, never fear, beloved friend for in the end, it's worth the price the fee, the cost when all is lost but love is won when true love comes, there is but one.

~('o')~ my mother reads danielle steel, and though not as often, i do, too. this poem she penned in one of her novels (sorry, i forgot which), has been with me for the longest time. in retrospect, i placed it here to share, and to also remind myself that my once in a lifetime has come and it is my own making for it to last even beyond the ad infinitum... _huggin_
