Seconds in Our Story

Why do people come and go —
in life
some stay for a season,
others make a home in your
heart for years.

Then one day they pack-up
and venture out of your life.
Some say good-bye,
others seem to shy for words,or
perhaps they were
hesitant to leave — or hasty.

Whoever you may be —
it was a joy to know your
soul.
Even if it lasted just a second.
