Once in a Lifetime

It only happens once,
not twice,
the moments vanishing
like mice, scurrying past
life much to fast, and for
the very brave,
the strong, the true,
and when the moment comes
for you, don't let it pass you
by, for in the twinkling of
an eye, the love is gone,
the moment dead,
an empty ringing in your
head, your heart will
know when fate has
whispered in your ear.....
oh never fear, beloved friend,
for in the end its worth
the price,
the fee,
the cost,
when all is lost,
but love is won,
when true love
comes,
there is but one.
