Looking Back

I would not try to cup the sands
Already finely sieved
That filtered through ingenuous hands:
(A moment lived is lived)

To reconstruct a memory
That bore perfection’s crown
Would be to have a winter tree
Redress its crimson gown

Exquisite hours benignly stream
Through God’s benevolence
A perfect moment’s like a dream
That happens only once

How right you are...I would not change even the bad for all has shaped the person I am today...and those treasured moments that seem like dreams become more and more precious as time goes on...Magnificent...*big hugs*

A moment in time never happens twice, and you know what I always say right?
