When moments turn in to memories

I remember kicking that ball into the back of the net.

I was only 10 but how could I forget.

The crowd cheered loudly and my parents waved their hands proudly.

That’s a moment that I’ll never forget.

That day I walked into high school for the very first time, I felt excited and free.

Butterflies and lingering eyes but I had never felt more like me.

Not too long into the year, I became friends with the seniors

And I thought I was so cool and that memory still lingers

That’s a time I’ll never forget.

When moments turn in to memories.

Those times you wish your life would freeze.

One more moment in that moment is all you ever need.

That’s when moments turn in to memories.

I saw her at a diner sitting by herself

I tried not to stare at her but that I couldn’t help.

We shared 10 good years together with two baby girls.

And those times I wouldn’t change for the world.

Those are moments I’ll never forget.

When moments turn in to memories.

Those times you wish your life would freeze.

One more moment in that moment is all you ever need.

That’s when moments turn in to memories.

In her final moments,she lifted up my hand.

She kissed it gently and said I need you to understand.

My precious moments with you are all that I have left.

And as I sat there by her side, momma took her last breath.

So many moments that I’ll never forget.

When moments turn in to memories.

Those times you wish your life would freeze.

One more moment in that moment is all you ever need.

That’s when moments turn in to memories.

That’s when moments turn in to memories
