Standing in the entryway looking <br />at the nuns dusting the alter in <br />preparation of sunday's mass <br />and with the aroma of the burning <br />candles for a fallen angel I saw <br />you kneeling, saying your prayers <br /> <br />You never knew I looked at you as <br />I held it so private for minutes, I saw <br />you with your sweat shirt and jeans <br />and had just came from football practice <br /> <br />Funny, that moment, still reflects in my <br />mind, as we were so young, so very <br />much in love, and each of us thought <br />we knew so much about the other <br /> <br />Then, I stopped dead, my heart pounded <br />and a tear formed, as I just stood and watched <br />you. Till this day you never knew that was the <br />one moment that I held so private in my heart <br /> <br />It wasnt what you didnt do, or did do, it was <br />the fact it was a moment you shared with someone <br />so much more important than the two of us, and <br />it was as if, god sent me to confession that day <br />as he knew someday I would remember your <br />vision for a lifetime.........<br /><br />Bonnie Collins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vison-for-a-lifetime/
