I Stand On Sand

I stand on sand
Nothing concrete
I move to prove
That I’ve got feet

Not able to be stable
I start to sink
The tears through the years
Is what I think

It’s here I fear	
I stand alone
Looking down I frown
My covers blown

I made the grade
Long time ago
I got afraid and paid
What did I know?

To late for fate
It passed me by
This time of mine
I can’t deny

I stand on sand
Nothing concrete
No time to climb
My maker to meet

Wow, you gave me chills, Stewart. Life goes by so quickly; before we know it, it's time to meet our Maker and justify how we "made the grade." Compelling! Love, Carolyn
