MANY SMALL MOMENTS
(by David Pekrul)
Many small moments,
Just one at a time,
To make me the man I've become,
Just many small moments,
Some up and some down,
And finally to them I succumb.
Many small moments,
Since I was a child,
And many small moments to come,
I've learned from the bad ones,
Been helped by the good,
I know that through them I have won.
Many small moments,
From here to the end,
I welcome them all one by one,
Another small moment,
Is when I am gone,
And moments in Heaven begun.

The beat of ancient drums / penetrates our souls and gives us life. / They beat the rhythm of prairie Sweet Grass, / which bows to the summer winds, / and is trampled by the buffalo, / telling of a life we once51 lines, July 10, 2007. In Hope
