The Hour Glass
While the Spring of Life begins all alive and new
With singing birds, and bright green trees
And oceans cresting blue
The hourglass of life begins, with sand from many seas.
When Summers’ Life is in full bloom
Will the magic ever end?
Flowers grow in Nature’s Room
And still the sands descend.
The colors within the Life of Fall
Bursting in brilliant hue
Sands honor the timeless call
… now all but a quarter through.
Winter Life pulls away the sun
Replacing it with snow
Alas … sands in the hourglass
Have ceased their steady flow.
