If Time Stood Still
by
Heather Nicole Luther
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you look back in the past
And discover the mistakes you made
And the regrets you have that will always last?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you go back and take the chances
You never did take before
Like learning all the important dances?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you finally realize that life is too short
To be afraid to try
Or that love may be your last resort?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you take the time to say
All the things you never thought you would
And learn to love in a special way?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you hold on to yesterday
And show your loved ones how you feel
Or would you let them walk away?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you take the time to make a child smile
Or would you tell them jokes to make them giggle
And go that extra mile?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you finally realize that it wasn’t all about you
And that you had to share the spotlight
To brighten the ones so blue?
If time stood still for merely a moment
Would you go back and erase all the grudges
Or would you see people in a different light
And let life be its own judge?
If time stood still for merely a moment
I would forget all about the past
And I would reconsider the future
And let us make new memories that are made to forever last.
