Just this moment

can i keep just this moment
for my soul not to dwell
for the time is comming to fast
where i must bid a farewell
to my daughter who must grow
in this world and its ways
as love is young
and happiness is forever
can i keep just this moment
on which i can hold
a memory of this day
on which we were together
smiles were on fire
and sisters stood close by
as they all look my way i see
my daughters by three
a single tear
down the cheek
as i raise the camera up
and take a shot
i ask
can i keep just this moment
i hand on my face
a hand on my shoulder
and a hand on my back
by the three they say
keep just this moment
to remind you
of our love for you.
