Life's a Beach

The sands of a person's life
flow in one direction... only one,
and no one can be certain of 
how much sand is given to each person.
Live as if each grain
is the only one given to you,
for when that grain is gone
only memories will exist.
So make your life overflow 
with those precious grains of sand,
for one day the sands of life...
will flow no more.
