Mari Martin - ONLY ONCE

Stars that endlessly shine
going on forever in time.
A rose that blooms in winter.
Can such a Love be mine?


The sad song of the nightengale
silenced by the night.
A sun that never rises
A second chance to make it right.


A rain that does not fall.
Clouds like wishes upon the sky.
One moment in time to say I Love you
but passes forever by.


Once in a lifetime
then gone the thoughts may be.
Cling to hope and happiness
a Love that can be freed.


Just once does time stop for you
and then continues on.
Capture this moment, hold it close
or it's gift will soon be gone.

Mari Martin
