Once in a while upon these sun parched plains
The leaves change from the standard green; to all colors of the sunset
The scorching heat that begs relief subsides
And the sweet scent of autumn hangs blissfully upon the air
Once in a while comes the perfect of summer eves
As the light glistens gracefully upon the sparkling water
The warm glow of eternity basking within the soul
While the lightening bugs stir upon the breeze
Once in a while comes a smile to light the winter night
As all freezes but the gaze that dances inside blue eyes
A mere voice bringing warmth to the heart
That never before has known such
Once in a lifetime we have the chance
Choosing the path which will define us
Who we are; what we stand for
And once; only once; we choose which way to walk
How far to go; and what to leave behind
And for all of this; We get one and only one
Lifetime
