A Fraction of a Second

A fraction of a second is the length of time it takes…

To blink,
To see,
To know,
To be.

To love,
To cry,
To live,
To die.

To hope,
To dream,
to wonder why?

It separates failure from success,
Defies gravity, no less.

A fraction of a second can grab the world’s attention
And will not let anyone forget.

It’s all the time it takes to reveal God’s Love,
It’s all that is needed to seal the bet.

That fraction of a second,
Is now passed and gone.

But a photo taken at that moment
Will live on and on and on.
