A Moment Like This Poem by Martin Greyford

Growing up in the neighbourhood
Admiring the old guys with their lovers
In their hands
Wrapping their arms around them
Like a father hugging
His children after work.

Now it's my time to shine
For I have found that
Which was missing in me.
Something that people
Wait a lifetime
For them to have a lover.

Some people wait a long time
To have that one special kiss
They wait a lifetime
To have that one hug.
Well, I can't believe that
It's happening to me today.

A moment like this
Only comes once in awhile
So I won't let it slip of
My hands like I'm letting go
Of my fears and the anger of
Impatience to be around her.
