A Moment in Time

While flowing through life adrift on the tide
We met on a cruise I mistook for a ride
Struck out for adventure, or to grab at the chance
Or perhaps with some luck just a short sweet romance
But caught in her beauty my life took a break
As senses were stirred which began to awake
A moment in time that too soon would pass
Then all I could think was I want this to last
But ships they do pass, as the saying does go
And too many lonely old hearts lie below
While feelings emerged that rose up above
We set a new course, together in love
Since living is not just "along for the ride"
I thus asked this beauty if she'd be my bride
