Hourglass

With steady hands, I carved an hourglass
Encapsulating human life inside
Sands dripping within my work of art
Moments fleeting inside my wondrous creation
Alas! Our time is really Gold!

Our Past, Present and Future
Makes our life story unfold!

Past is history 
A history to learn and view
Showing our own weaknesses and doings
Memories either pleasant or mournful 
We cherish good times
And sober over bad moments

Wake up to the present
New challenges arises, new faces to meet
Learning is an endless process
Knowledge is neither good nor bad
Utilized it to bring wonders to the world

Tomorrow is a mystery
A mystery to investigate
Everyone holds the key, lock yet to be discovered
Different routes leads to different destination

Hourglass within me
