Like Sands Through the Hour Glass
"Like sands through the hour glass",
our lives are measured in time.
No man can foretell the date to take our last,
as our sinful, lively deeds are kept at bay
until the Lord calls upon our souls.
So, we are to breathe in gratitude,
gifted are those who live in the present.
Let us embrace our memories,
as if for prized collection.
To remain sane, respectfully today,
for tomorrow can can never be the same, again.
