The Simple Grains of Life


Hourglass, Its outside is the world. When it is flipped your life has Begun. The sand running down the glass Is your time in life. Every grain of sand is a memory. The sharp shards of sand are the hardships in life, While where the sand is smooth Are the joyous times in life. Sand is time, But there is only so much sand. Before you know it, All the sand has reached the bottom of the glass. And time is Done.
