sixty seconds...

that's

how long

it lasted

.

for just sixty

short

seconds

it was 10 10 10 10 10

i wonder how many

mommas said

hello little one

how many families said

their final goodbyes

how many lovers

kissed for the first time

i wonder how many life decisions

were made that will

bear that moment in time

how many

memories were captured

for eternity

the good and

the not so good

as i remember those sixty short seconds

i hope to remind myself

that life

can be changed

life can be altered

in that tiny amount of time
