Hourglass 2
“Hourglass 2”
Written: By Tom Wright
VBS 2006
The sum of all life’s moments
Become yesterdays once they’re spent,
We oft cast eyes hinder and ponder
Where the fractions of each day went;
Forthwith, we’re left with more todays
Embodied by nameless hours at hand,
While the gravitation of life’s hourglass
Methodically trickles and lessens our sand.
But should God grant us tomorrow
It too, will be doomed to our past,
As the sand of the glass keeps dwindling
Until God declares one grain our last.
The person that once we were, passed yesterday,
And the person we currently are was born today;
Each tomorrow grants us the opportunity to be born again.
Tom
