Sometimes in an instant,
you could see so much of a person
just one glance, one grin, one familiar squeeze of your tiny hand in his

Sometimes in a moment,
you could feel so many emotions
content, joy, bliss, happiness, yet the envy, hiding in between

Sometimes in a word

hopes of success, love, a family, all holding up

Sometimes, just sometimes,
we can choose to see all the good,
and the let go of the past...
but sometimes, not all the times
we succeed
