When Time Stood Still

Based on "Time Stand Still" by Rush and my hearing it at 15, changed my life.

Standing in the Dairy Queen
sorry for myself
bitter lost teen,
when the jukebox sang
about growing old
with emotional pain
I felt the moments slip
that we miss
along life's trip.
For a moment, Neil Pearts words
helped me see
how my life would be.
From that moment, healed
i had a new purpose
that i could wield.
To live life, no regrets
to live on purpose
no luck, no game, no bets.
I thank Rush for my Will
for awakening me
when Time Stood Still.
