You know that moment,
When you're young and naive,
When you fight with your parents,
Because you think you know better.
You know that moment,
When you're in your room,
Crying your eyes out,
Because the girls at school,
Made fun of your clothes.
You know that moment,
When you feel so alone,
When you think no one cares,
But your parents are just downstairs.
You know that moment,
When you want to leave home,
When you want to go far away,
When you say you won't miss anything at all.
You know that moment,
When you first move into your dorm,
When you start college,
And realize that it's not home.
You know that moment,
When you're homesick,
When you call your mom,
When you call your dad,
And they say they love you and miss you too.
You know that moment,
Ten years from now,
Your man proposes,
And your mom is too far away,
To dress shop with you.
You know that moment,
When you're walking down the aisle,
When your arms are linked with daddy's,
You feel like a little girl again,
Only to realize that you're being given away.
You know that moment,
When you have your own children,
When you have fights with them,
When you feel helpless and inadequate.
You know that moment,
When you finally realize,
What your parents went through,
The struggles,
Their love for you.
You know that moment,
When your baby boy tells you,
He loves you,
And that you're the best mommy in the world.
You know that moment,
When you put off calling your parents,
When you don't see them often,
When you get that call that you've been dreading - their demise.
You know that moment,
When you're at mom's funeral,
When her casket is being lowered,
When instead of saying 'goodbye',
You finally tell her 'I'm sorry'.
You know that moment,
When you feel that hole in you,
When you want more time with someone,
When something is overdue,
When something can no longer be repaid.
Carpe Diem.
Seize the Day.
