One Precious Second
Opened my eyes, my heart, my world
A connection to my soul with just one glance into your eyes
As I walked past you in the grocery isle,
A heartbeat in time, a fleeting moment,
One that opened up my world in a short period of time.
The connection was strong,
Just a minute in amongst my lifetime of hours,
But it opened my heart, changed my day,
Left an indelible memory for years to come.
