The Hourglass of Life
A new season begun,
a new life, a new birth,
engraving our story here upon earth.
The pages turn slowly.
Each day will pass.
Life is measured by the hourglass.
The sands of time pass graciously.
The book is written of mystery.
Echoes of silence the pages are blank.
For the hourglass of life holds no rank.
Let today be today,
look not to tomorrow,
for life will fade on the pages of sorrow.
Read the story you must go on.
Turn the pages of a new dawn.
To every beginning there is an end.
Your spirit will soar high in the wind.
Hurry before time runs out.
For life surley fades without a doubt.
The clock counts down each grain of sand.
Turn the page and understand,
reflections of love and holding hands.
This page though so innocent,
a beautiful child of heaven sent.
Happiness in a life well spent.
Turn the page again once more,
to find the key to all closed doors.
This page tells of mom and me.
The many cherished memories,
undying love for family.
Turn the page see all my friends,
from around the world and all nations.
This page tells of sacred marriage,
to have, to hold, and also cherish.
This page tells of many great storms,
the sea of tears, and the thunder roars.
This page holds the photographs,
of many dreams that once was had.
Though some memories of life you can't recall.
The book of seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall.
The last page to turn, so there's a stall.
The last grain of sand that slowly falls.
Now for a moment don't you cry.
The hourglass of life told us no lie.
For all is born and then must die.
God grant me the time to say goodbye.
The Hourglass of Life
