Catching Fireflies

We hold onto moments as they slip away Like fireflies glowing at the end of the day Whispers of laughter that time can't erase In the heart of the night we find our place Memories painted in shades of gold Stories of love and dreams untold Every heartbeat a tale to recall In the quiet of dawn we cherish it all We dance in the light of our yesterdays Cradling the echoes of sweet serenades Every second a delicate embrace In the canvas of life we leave our trace Through the passage of time we'll reminisce Hold tight to the warmth of a fleeting kiss Moments like diamonds in the rough In the gallery of life we've got enough Pictures in frames that hang on the wall Songs that we sing in the memory hall Echoes that fade but never grow old Holding on stories that we've been told In the book of life every page we write Each chapter a moment by candlelight Cherishing the tales both near and far Holding onto memories like a guiding star A prayer for strength, a soul to mend With faith unbroken, world without end.
