Pursue the moment

I did a lesson on "Advertisements and Our Life" to my second graders last week.
Is it sort of lame that I find car commercials touching?

A moment if you please.
Moments can be short,
moments can be long.
There are moments of joy,
moments of sorrow,
moments of passion,
moments you'll never forget,
moments you've already forgotten,
moments you didnt get.
There are awkward moments,
senior moments,
moments of truth,
and momentary lapses in judgement.
People who ask for a moment,
share a moment,
I need a moment,
You got a moment?
Wait a moment,
you can take a moment,
make a moment,
spoil a moment.
And if all the stars line in the right moment,
that moment can be perfect.
Moments can define you,
moments can delight you,
and moments can change your life.
Here's to the moment,
and squeezing all you can out of every last single one of them.

  3. Not lame at all. That Dawn commercial with the animals getting the oil washed off them... the part where they close-up on the otter's paw grasping the edge of the bucket... gets me misty EVERY time.
