Life In a Grain of Sand

Life in a grain of sand

We all leave this earth but once..
any good deeds that I must do, 
I must do it now. 
Any opportunity to share kindness 
to my fellowmen, I must oblige.. 
for I will never be given the chance 
to pass this path again.

Don’t let the sand of time 
passes by..time is linear and 
very precious.. 
to miss every minute of it, 
for the cycle of life will 
continue to move on, 
as time goes by.

We can’t go back in time,
to reset and finish what’s left behind, 
wasted time, just floats like a dust 
and blown away with the lazy breeze.
The hour glass capsule remind us, 
how much time we have on earth.
