Life Lightly Brushes our Toes


         Life slips through our fingers
            past eyes, ears, and nose
               lightly brushes our toes
      
         In the main, we slumber our way
            to the grave ~ dja have a nice day?

I think we should always try to do something productive in a day. Often we slumber, eh?
